"I'll be happy when you put that enthusiasm on your work."
These younger employees were more interested in gossiping than getting their work done.
Janessa looked at Shelby.
Despite the criticism, she still had to thank her.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't know such a big secret.
When she returned from lunch, she received a call from Rayan asking her to come to his office right
away.
Although she didn't know for certain, she had the sense that something was very, very wrong.
She went straight to Rayan's office.She knocked on the door before going in.
To her surprise, Gracie was there too, sitting on the sofa.Rayan had gone too far.
Why was he allowing Gracie to stay in his office while he was working? He couldn't bear not seeing his
sweetheart even for a few hours? Janessa rolled her eyes and ignored her.
She went straight to Rayan's desk.
"You sounded concerned on the phone.What's wrong?"
Without a word, he tossed a piece of paper across the table to her.
On the front of it he had circled something with red ink.
"What is this? What's going on?"
"Clinical trials have found that the product may provoke allergic reactions in some people.This is an
urgent issue.Next time when we talk with our client, we have to point this out.They need to know the
severity of this."
Rayan's voice was emotionless.
Janessa looked at document, slowly taking in Rayan’s words.
He was right, of course.
Even if there was a very small population of consumers who were allergic to the medicine, it was
important to get that information out to the public so that they could completely understand and trust
the product.
Otherwise, the consequences would be huge.
However, nearly half a month had passed since the contract was signed.
This was very late for them to be noticing this issue.
Janessa looked at the woman sitting on the sofa behind her and something occurred to her, but she
wasn't sure if her suspicions were correct or not.
Seeing that Janessa had no objections, Gracie stood up and walked over to her.
"Rayan has agreed to let me join your group.I think your talent must be exceptional or your project
would not have stood out to the Gu Group.But, while you are good at project planning, you don't have
as much I can help you avoid similar issues in the future,"
Gracie said with a small smile, her eyes resting on Janessa.
So Gracie had discovered this little problem.
It wasn't a surprise since she was a professional physician.
But if Gracie was really such a good doctor, she wouldn't have done what she had done to Janessa
back in the hospital.
Every time she saw Gracie's face, Janessa thought about when she had come to visit her with soup
made of her dead child.
How could such a pretty woman do something so vicious? However, Rayan didn't know what a cruel
woman Gracie really was.
Janessa wanted to refute Gracie, but he had clearly already made up his mind.
So, there was nothing left for her to say.
"Thank you for taking the time to help us with this plan.But you may not understand that this job
actually requires a lot of commitment.We may have to stay up working for several nights at a
time.Furthermore, our cooperation with the Gu Group has reached a critical stage.I hope you can take
good care of yourself first.After all, time waits for no one."
Janessa then turned around and took a seat on the sofa.
She pulled her computer from her bag, turned it on, and began to work.
Janessa's words enraged Gracie.
She hadn't actually wanted to work here.
She simply wanted to prevent Rayan and Janessa from rekindling their relationship.
‘She's actually threatening me!’ Gracie thought to herself, seething.And with Rayan there, it seemed
like Janessa only wanted to provoke her so that Rayan would see her bad side.
Gracie wouldn't let that happen.Calming down, Gracie began to laugh and took a seat on the sofa right
beside Janessa.With the document in hand, she began marking up her key points.
"As a doctor, I'm quite used to late nights.You don't need to spend any time worrying about me."
Later in the afternoon, Rayan brought his computer to the sofa to work with them.
After correcting the plan, Janessa started to discuss the project with Rayan as if Gracie were not there.
Gracie cut in from time to time, making certain Janessa could not ignore her.
Although she was not trained in this industry, she gave some useful suggestions for the plan.
After all, even if Gracie was not a good woman, she was still talented.
"Rayan, let me grab you some coffee.You should take a break."
"Gracie, go to my lounge and take a break if you are tired.I have more work to do with Janessa."
Gracie had been with them for the whole afternoon.
Rayan knew that modifying the business plan was not only complicated, but also probably boring for
her as well.
It was not easy for Gracie to quietly sit around all afternoon.
"It doesn't matter.I can stay and tell you if there is anything wrong.
It's much easier to modify it now than to rewrite it later." Gracie stood up and left the room to make
coffee.
Rayan continued his conversation with Janessa.
Their heated discussion made time pass quickly and soon they finalized this part.
With two cups of coffee at hand, Gracie returned to the room and handed one to Rayan.
She looked at Janessa and said, "Oh Miss Janessa, you didn't tell me what kind of coffee you liked, so
I didn't get any for you.I hope you don't mind."
Gracie hadn't even bothered asking Janessa whether she wanted coffee or not.
She just wanted Rayan's attention, as usual.But, Janessa didn't see the point in pointing this out.
"You can have mine.I don't want coffee now,"
Rayan said and handed his cup to Janessa without even looking up from his computer.
"Rayan, that one is for you.I'm sure Janessa doesn't even drink black coffee."
Gracie reached out to take the coffee, but Janessa picked it up first.
"Thank you, Mr.Rayan.I do like black coffee and feel so lucky to have it specially made by Miss
Gracie.Thank you."
As she spoke, Janessa took a sip of the coffee.
She didn't even frown at the bitter taste.
In fact, it seemed like she preferred it this way.
It never occurred to Gracie that Janessa liked her coffee the same way as Rayan.
Rayan just gave her his coffee without hesitation, and Janessa didn't even pretend to refuse politely.
Gracie suddenly felt really nervous…
