Chapter 1924 Buttering Up
Nina responded thoughtfully, “Right. If she stays away from Wilbur, you can keep a distance from her and coexist peacefully.” She reminded, “Remember to stay away from someone like her.”
“Yeah, got it.” Maya nodded. After Wilbur returned from the restroom, Janice stopped acting all intimate with Nicholas. She was concerned about how Wilbur would think of her.
Alas, Wilbur didn’t even spare her a glance. After taking his seat, he said, “My assistant gave me a call, so I have to head to the company right now. Will you come with me, Maya?”
“No. I’ll head to Seet Residence and deliver my latest product, honey shortbread, to Grandma and the rest. I want them to try it out.”
“All right. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Okay!”
The moment Wilbur disappeared from sight, Janice immediately acted intimate with Nicholas. They clung to each other in public without a care about their image.
Even Stephen and Nina blushed at their indecent actions.
“Maya, we need to get back to work, too. Bye!”
“Okay. Take the desserts with you.”
Maya told the waiter to wrap up the remaining desserts so they could take them with them.
As Maya was the only one left behind, Janice decided to go all out. She bit on a piece of chocolate and inched nearer to Nicholas to feed it to him with her mouth, but the latter shoved her away.
Janice’s expression fell. She turned around anxiously, but Maya was nowhere to be seen.
“We no longer have to put up an act. It’s your turn now!” Nicholas announced.
He then got up and left.
Janice wiped her lips clean before getting up to look for Maya.
It was a pity to leave just like that. She had to appreciate every encounter with Maya and grab the chance to talk to her.
She was busy glancing around when Maya exited the kitchen and headed her way.
After calming down, she dashed forward.
“Maya, the desserts you sell are indeed delicious. I’ll bring my friends here often. Will you welcome us?”
At the sight of her jovial smile, Maya assumed she was excited after her date with Nicholas.
Hmm, her mood instantly took a turn for the better after the date. Look how sweet she is.
“Sure. You’re welcome to bring your friends here anytime.”
“Great! I’d like to buy some as gifts. Maya, what’s your recommendation?”
Maya summoned a waitress to help her out.
“Just inform her what flavor you need, and she’ll recommend the suitable ones.”
Janice said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you, Maya. You can get back to work!”
Maya bobbed her head. Wow, Janice has indeed changed. She’s a different person now. Who is this gentle but sweet lady? She’s acting like an adorable neighbor.
After getting a few desserts, Janice left the food plaza. At once, her innocent expression faded into thin air.
A disdainful look replaced her smile, for she despised Maya’s food plaza and the desserts in her hands.
If possible, she would toss the desserts into the trash can immediately. However, it was a waste to discard them right now. Hey, I can offer them to Rodney to butter up to him! That way, I can show him how close I am to Maya now.
When Janice delivered the desserts to Rodney, she didn’t forget to praise Maya. It was as though she was praising her sister. In fact, one wouldn’t even praise one’s sister that way.
Rodney was caught by surprise at her action.
“When did you become close to Maya?” he queried.
“We don’t hold a grudge against each other. We’re going to be a family soon, so it’s normal for me to get along with her, right?” After saying that, Janice recalled how Rodney valued the company’s interests. An idea popped into her mind.
She added, “I’m pregnant with Nicholas’ child and am a part of the family. Hence, I want nothing but the best for the Simpson family and the company!”
