If It's Not Me

Chapter 32 Is Daniel Hardon Your Husband?

"It's okay. You've already helped me a lot. I can do the rest myself," Janice said with a smile. With that, Nelson and Janice followed the receptionist and took the elevator up to the conference room. When William saw them, he greeted them with a smile, "Hello." "Hello, Mr. Hayes." Nelson and Janice bowed slightly but sincerely. Nelson then said, "Long time no see. The last time we met was at Gray Residence a year ago." "Well, I'm surprised to see one of the Grays here too. Come, let's sit down." William invited them to sit. Meanwhile, Janice was very nervous all this while. From the moment she entered until now, she had yet to greet William properly; she was just thinking about how to bring up the collaboration. As for William, he was studying Janice secretly. She looks quite beautiful. He didn't beat around the bush either and asked them straightforwardly, "Are you guys here to talk about Sky Project's advertising?" Hearing that, Nelson and Janice were both stunned. They didn't know that he would be so straightforward, after all. Indeed, Willian was the wealthiest person in Southland, so he wouldn't have time to beat around the bush. Just as Janice was about to answer, Nelson answered before her, "We won't waste much of your time then, Mr. Hayes. Indeed, we're here because of it. Could you tell us about your requirements for the collaboration? You see… my fiancée, Janice, is running an advertising company in Goldshore, so we decided to come here and ask for a chance." As he said that, Janice's expression changed slightly while she glared at him. She asked with her eyes, Since when did I become your fiancée?! When he noticed her reaction, Nelson placed his hand under the table, signaling for her to calm down. In fact, Janice knew what he meant too. Even though the Gray Family had some connections with William, he wouldn't help an outsider for nothing. Thus, Nelson was pulling the strings for her. However, she felt uncomfortable when he said that. On the other hand, William squinted his eyes and saw right through them when they exchanged looks through his many years of experience. Immediately, he understood their relationship dynamics—this little junior of the Gray Family liked Janice. How dare you compete with Lord Hades for a woman? Are you trying to dig your own grave? Sigh, for the sake of my relationship with the Gray Family, I can't let you drag the entire family down. At this thought, he said with a smile, "I don't have many requirements, but I just want to ask Miss Tillman some questions." Startled, Janice clenched her fists and took a deep breath before saying, "M-Mr. Hayes, my company…" She was trying to introduce her company's expertise to William. Although she looked calm on the outside, the stutter in her words sold her out. Before she could finish, the man cut her off. "I'm not asking about that." Janice was surprised and looked at him in a daze. "Miss Tillman, is your husband Daniel Hardon?" he asked with a smile.When Nelson heard that, his expression changed at once. He turned sharply to look at Janice. "You're married?!" With his darkened face, he totally forgot about the fact that he had introduced Janice as his fiancée just moments ago. Likewise, Janice didn't expect William to ask such a question. Could it be that he's worried about Daniel's status? Is he afraid that Daniel's image will affect our collaboration?
