If It's Not Me

Chapter 33 Sort Of

When faced with Nelson and William's stares along with the former's darkened face, a stream of determination appeared in Janice's eyes all of a sudden. She then said, "Yes, Daniel Hardon is my husband." Although she wanted the Sky Project very much, if William was really worried about Daniel's status, she could only give up on this project. If this happened previously, she might have denied her relationship with Daniel. However, since she could see his sincerity after what happened yesterday, she didn't deny it now. After all, she didn't like to lie either. Otherwise, she would need Nelson's help to cover up a lie with another lie, and it would only make things more difficult. Most importantly, she was afraid that Daniel would misunderstand her when he found out. When Nelson and William heard her answer, their expressions were totally different. Between the two, Nelson's face was totally disgruntled. William then pretended to ask, "What if I say the condition for you to sign the Sky Project is to divorce Mr. Hardon? Only then would his matter not affect our collaboration." When Janice heard that, her expression changed immediately. On the other hand, there was a glow in Nelson's eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, he hoped that she would agree to the condition. William continued to probe by asking, "Of course, as long as you stay away from Mr. Hardon, we can…" Before he could finish, Janice cut him off and said, "It's alright, Mr. Hayes. I'm afraid I can't agree with that. My sincerest apologies for disturbing you." As she said that, she stood up and got ready to leave. Nelson quickly stood up. He blocked her way and asked in confusion, "Don't you want to think it through first, Janice?" "There's no need for that." "Why not? This is a chance for you to collaborate with Mr. Hayes. It'll make your company grow faster!" Hearing that, she was stunned for a moment. She had always desired this opportunity, so why did she turn it down? It's because… I don't want to stay away from Daniel. If I do that, Denise will be very upset.After finding herself a good excuse, she said, "I don't want to exchange my daughter's happiness for this chance." When she said that, Nelson was stunned. William, who was seated behind him, put on a satisfied smile before saying, "Good. Let's sign the contract." "What?!" Janice turned around immediately, her eyes widening when she heard that. She even suspected that she had heard him wrongly. She was already prepared to leave, and she felt that she had blown everything up. It was totally out of her expectations that he would suddenly agree to sign the contract. Likewise, surprise crawled all over Nelson's face as well. Soon, Kyle brought a series of contracts and documents into the room. Everything happened so quickly as though he had prepared it beforehand. Before Janice could snap out of her daze, the contract was signed. "Mr. White here will be in charge of communicating the details with your company after this. Anyway, I hope you have a happy life with Mr. Hardon. Don't forget to send me your wedding invite."Janice left right away after she shook hands with William. At this moment, she felt that there was something strange about his last sentence, but she couldn't put her finger on it just then. After she went downstairs and breathed in some fresh air from outside, her muddled mind cleared up slightly. She felt that what happened just now was like a dream. After the plot twist, she actually obtained this opportunity and signed the contract successfully! At the same time, she felt like Daniel had played a part in this success as well. Did I get to sign the contract because of Daniel? I don't think he knows people like Mr. Hayes, though. At this moment, Nelson went up to her with a disgruntled look and said, "Janice, I didn't want to ask you upstairs just now, but are you really married?" Janice looked at him and pressed her lips together. After some time, she answered, "Sort of." Although she was not married to Daniel, he was already Denise's father on paper. Technically speaking, it made him her husband. Moreover, this situation would not change in the next two years. Suddenly, Nelson shouted, "It's a yes if you're married, and a no if you're not! What do you mean by that?!"
