Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband

When Janice saw Daniel, she could not help but feel embarrassed. She had mistakenly treated Daniel as a benefactor and he had also seen the dramatic scene at her father’s birthday party.

Of course, Daniel wasn’t thinking of this. He thought only of James, who was coming along for dinner.

After all, James had quarreled with Janice. He dared not imagine what would happen if they met.

While Daniel was thinking, James arrived.

"Daniel, why are you standing there?"

Before Daniel could speak, James saw Janice and Christopher in their seats.

He couldn’t help frowning and thinking, "How did I meet them here?"

Christopher wasn’t a big deal. He was his buddy, but his wife...

Daniel thought of the previous unpleasantness. He couldn’t help feeling a little worried, but he still walked over.

"Chris, what a coincidence. You’re here too."

Christopher glanced at James, and then his eyes fell on Janice. He knew that Janice had a bad impression of James.

It was true that James was his buddy, but he had to take into account Janice’s feelings. Just as he was about to speak, Daniel suggested, "How about we sit together? Anyway, it’s boring for us two men to eat alone."

Daniel thought that they were all good friends. Seeing Christopher’s love for his wife, they would only have a lot more chances to meet in the future.

If they kept being so awkward with James, it would be hard to meet him in the future. Moreover, he felt Janice had a good character, so it was also a good opportunity to solve the unhappiness.

For a moment, no one responded to Daniel’s proposal.

James thought that as a man, he cared about his reputation. Before Christopher and Janice invited him, he would not agree easily.

Christopher’s eyes darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Janice spoke first.

"Christopher, it’s more lively if we eat with more people. Why don’t we eat together?"

Christopher didn’t expect Janice would take the initiative to agree. He was a little surprised.

However, since Janice had agreed, he had nothing to say. He just nodded and said, "Let’s change to a bigger table."

So they moved to a larger table.

Janice sat next to Christopher, while James and Daniel sat on the other side.

While eating, Christopher took good care of Janice and helped her cook everything.

He was as considerate as he could be.

Daniel and James sat, deeply feeling that they had been abused.

They were shouting in their hearts, "Are they torturing us with their lovey doveyness?"

Janice noticed their discomfort. In fact, she was also very uncomfortable. After all, she was embarrassed to be taken care of by Christopher. She said, "I’ll do it myself."

Hearing her words, Christopher didn’t continue.

Daniel glanced at them and said, "By the way, James, you forgot what you told Chris last time."

Daniel’s sudden words stunned James Taylor. "What did I say?"

Daniel frowned and met the gazes of Christopher and Janice. He whispered a few words in James’ ear.

James’s face suddenly froze, but he looked at Janice with some embarrassment.

Janice was confused.

James said, "I’m sorry."

Janice was taken by surprise at his sudden apology so she looked at Christopher.

Christopher didn’t say anything. He just sat there, waiting for James to continue.

...

Sure enough, James continued, "It was my fault last time. Don’t take it to heart. Let me toast you."

James picked up a glass of wine as he spoke.

Hearing James’ apology, Janice recalled that he should be talking about the incident outside the barbecue restaurant.

To be honest, after thinking about what happened that day, she also felt that she was too nosy.

After all, it was their family affair. It was rash of her to intervene as an outsider.

Although it was to stop the fight, her tone was really not very good.

Moreover, when Daniel proposed to eat together, she hadn’t thought much. It was just because they were friends of Christopher.

Even if she didn’t like James, she couldn’t let embarrass Christopher, so she agreed.

She hadn’t expected James to apologize.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Christopher said to James, "She can’t drink."

Seeing this, Daniel also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. I can testify for the truth. She really can’t drink."

James was a little awkward and was about to put down the glass.

"Wait, although I don’t know how to drink wine, can I drink tea instead?"

Janice said with embarrassment.

Christopher didn’t expect that she would accept James’ apology.

After all, she had expressed her dislike for James more than once in front of him.

Earlier, he was very surprised when she was willing to let them share the table. Now, unexpectedly, she accepted James’ apology.

"Of course."

James, as a man, would naturally not care about the drink, as long as he could bury the hatchet with Janice.

Janice poured herself a cup of tea and held it in her hand. "Actually, I also want to apologize to you. I was also wrong, I hope you don’t take it to heart."

James said, "Of course. Come on, after drinking this cup today, you will be my good brother’s wife and my sister-in-law."

With this, James drank the wine.

Although the title "sister-in-law" made Janice feel a little embarrassed, she also drank her tea.

After that, the atmosphere became lively.

They ate and chatted happily.

When it was time to leave, James and Christopher left together to get their cars.

On the way, James remembered something and said, "By the way, have you heard that Denise is back?"

After saying that, James saw that Christopher had no reaction, so he was not sure if he had heard. James added, "She is working in the TV station now. I heard that she is the art director."

Only then did a trace of surprise appear on Christopher’s face, but it quickly disappeared.

After returning home, Christopher went to take a shower.

Janice was sitting in front of the dressing table to remove her makeup. Halfway through, her phone rang and she picked it up.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Gladwell?"

Hearing the strange voice on the phone, Janice was stunned. "I am, who are you?"

"I’m Denise Kelshore, the one who ran into your car in the parking lot of the TV station this afternoon. Do you remember?"

Only then did Janice respond. She said, "I remember."

Denise said, "I’m sorry. I’ve been busy until now. I don’t know what your wishes are or what conditions you have, but please raise them, I can accept."

Hearing Denise’s words, Janice was a little stunned. She didn’t know about compensation. Moreover, it was Rob who dealt with it. She had to ask Rob about the details.

...

Janice said, "How about I’ll call you tomorrow and give you a reply, okay?"

Denise replied, "Of course. Sorry to disturb you."

As soon as Janice hung up the phone, Christopher came out of the bathroom. Seeing that she was just making a phone call, he asked, "It’s so late. Who is calling?"

Janice said, "It was the car owner who scratched my car, calling about the compensation. Coincidentally, she is the new art director of the TV station."

Christopher was originally drying his hair, but when he heard the latter part of Janice’s sentence, he couldn’t help but pause.

"What’s wrong?"

Janice saw him froze.

Christopher narrowed his eyes. "Since it’s your colleague, don’t pursue the matter. Anyway, there’s insurance cover."

Upon hearing Christopher’s words, Janice thought about it and agreed. She nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll talk to her tomorrow."

After that, she got up and was about to go to the bathroom.

Christopher stopped her. "Janice."

Janice stopped and looked back at him.

Christopher paused before saying. "Thank you for tonight."

However, Janice did not understand what he was thanking her for. She was a little confused.

Christopher said, "You’re willing to forgive James."

Upon hearing this, Janice realized what he was talking about.

She said with some embarrassment, "Christopher, in fact, there was something wrong with my attitude before. Don’t take what I told you to heart."

"Silly, why would I take it to heart?"

Christopher reached out and rubbed her head. "Go ahead to shower. Come to bed early."

Janice nodded and turned into the bathroom.

When her figure disappeared from sight, Christopher’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The next day, Janice went to the TV station and met Denise as soon as she arrived at the elevator.

She was wearing a sharp looking suit, standing and waiting for the elevator.

Janice stepped forward and said, "Good morning."

Denise smiled when she saw Janice. "Morning."

The elevator door opened, and the two of them walked in one after the other. After the door closed, Denise said, "By the way, about the car..."

"Oh, I was just about to tell you. Forget about the car. The car is covered by insurance."

"I’m so sorry," Denise said.

Janice said, "It’s OK."

"Thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner another day."

The elevator opened and Denise walked out.

As soon as Denise arrived at her desk and was about to sit down, the phone on the table rang.

She picked it up. It was Chief Gray, asking her to come to his office.

Janice put down her backpack and walked towards Chief Gray’s office.

"Chief, you’re looking for me."

Chief Gray said, "Sit down."

Janice sat down and Chief Gray spoke, "Janice, you’ve been in our TV station for more than two years, haven’t you?"

Janice nodded.

Chief Gray continued, "Do you want to change to a different position?"

However, Janice did not understand. "Chief, did I make a mistake?"

Chief Gray hurriedly said, "Of course not."

"Then why did you suddenly mention this?"

Janice asked.

Chief Gray paused and said, "Well, I’ll tell you the truth. There has been a new program recently. I think you are very suitable. I want to recommend you to try it."

"A new show?" Janice was confused.

Chief Gray said, "It’s a talk show The Tide of Love. How, are you interested in it?"

Upon hearing this, Janice realized that he was talking about this show.

However, hadn’t she already rejected it?

"Why did Chief Gray recommend me?"
