Janet had been thinking about Charis ever since Ethan told her about this woman.
Charis worked for the Larson Group and was about to return from abroad, which meant they would be seeing eachother often
“You don’t look well today. Didn’t you sleep well last night? Today is a big day. Cheer up!” Gerda patted Janet’s shoulder
The two had become close again after the news about the fraud group got televised.
Janet felt it was normal for Gerda to misunderstand her after hearing the rumors because the two had become friends only after Janet joined the company. After all, Gerda didn’t Janet well enough.
“Big day?” Janet looked listless.
“Miss Turner is finally returning to the company today after three years abroad. She is a legend. I heard she and Mr. Larson had started the company together — she was one of the core founding members. Later, she left the country to explore the overseas market. She is only about four or five years older than us. I admire her a lot!” Gerda adored Charis and spoke at length about her, oblivious to the look on Janet’s face.
Janet’s lungs constricted. It felt as if a giant rock was sitting on her chest.
She sounds like an amazing woman,” she said, forcing a smile.
