After.
"Is wanting a trip to Paris okay?" Janice asked her father. Today, her father decided to spend some time with her and her mother before he goes to the office.
he hummed, putting his hnads on his beard and scratching it. "well, it is not a bad idea if that is what you want." he responded.
she squealed, hugging him. "thank you father." she told him, knowing that her mother is throwing a dagger at her and her father that allowed the trip.
"she cant go." her mother firmly said. The way she had spoken, her voice left no space for arguing yet Janice knew she can't just sit and watch her mother spoil all her plans.
she faced her mother, with a questioning look. "Why mother? It has been my dream to go there." she grumbled like a kid that was denied candy.
"You just can't go and that is final." her mother affirmed again, her voice was serious that it had scared her off.
it is known to her that her mother doesnt like her going about due to safety as she was told, but still, she needs her mother to stop going overboard and calm down about safety or whatever.
"loosen up and allow the girl to do what she wants. she is an adult and she has been one for years, we just can't keep on dictating what she does to her all the time so let her be." her father joined.
He also knows why her mother is acting this way but it doesnt change the fact that she got into an accident and got hurt as a result of that. He believes that there is always a way out of any situation that someone finds themselves in. "yes mother, i will stay safe and do as you ask, just let me go." she pouted.
Janice exhibiting some childish behavior has to do with the fact that she had hit her head hard during the accident and the dovtor said she might be actind different sometimes, so they shoulnt be surprised.
her mother could only nod her head in disbelief before giving her the go ahead that she needs from her. "then it is settled. I will take your passport when I am going out to do a little bit of processing even though you will be using the private jet." he infromed.
She thanked him for that before she dusted off her dress and excused herself to her room. she will just finish the work or rather the project that she had just started working on late at night then begin to pack her clothes until the day her father asks her to come and leave.
she sat on the bed, unpligging her laptop from the socket and turning on to an email notification. It was Rick Davis as they couldnt communicate more on the phone so she suggested that he send her a message through email when he is done with the new findings that she had asked him to take off.
'It appears that Mister Smith was asked by Lord Javier to get the jewelry because it was said that he was pretty much interested in them.' the email said.
she stopped, biting her lips and wondering why Javier will really stoop that low. He should have at least talked to her directly and if she doesnt answer him, then he can do whatever he thinks is right.
another email popped in and she eagerly opened it. 'Yes, my words were right. Lord Javier was the one that really sent him but dont push it Janice, it won't end well.' jhe warned as it ended.
she licked her lips together becayse the warning won't really work on her. She has already made up her mind. The community party is just a day before the board meeting and there, she will meet him.
then she will ask him why he had it that way, simple. putting everything about Javier aside, she worked on her project that her assistant had sent back to her.
She successfully finsihed it and edited it, giving it a finished look before she made a mental note to ask her father if she had to make a slide presentation.
it might not be important and necesarry but yet, she will ask him to avoid any more issues that will arise.
She looked around the room, thinking she would find soemthing that would take her out of her boredom but she didnt.
an idea struck her mind and she stood up. The house is a bit quiet which means her parents are not around. She headed straight to the kitchen, grabboing a bowl and pouring corn in it.
she drizzled some honey, caramel cream and then pushed it into the microwave, watching as it turned into popcorn. With the help of a kictvehn rag, she brought out the bowl when the popcorn was done popping then she grabbed some chocolate bars, a bottle of chilled water and lastly an orange juice then walked back to her room juggling them in her hands.
immediately as she reached her room, she dropped everythin on the floor then switched off the light and played a movie on her laptop. she had just recently downloaded it due to the good review it had gotten from the intenet.
from the very first scene, she was very much hooked, anticipating to see what would happen next and she lost count of time until the movie ended.
She checked the time to see that it was already one in the afternoon and her mother will soon be back. She doesnt stay out late.
Janice decided to quickly clear her room then took a secomd bath of the day and she wore another dress, liking hiw it had stayed perfectly on her. "who will deny me? i mean, i am very attractive." she uttered, twirling in front of the mirror and admirirng herself.
It was a lie that she looked bery hot and appealing. no man will actually see her at the moment and won't get soemthing for her, even his heart will stir because of how she looked.
