Chapter 173- I’m sorry
"Boss, this is Amos’s new assistant, Janice..." Amos looked a little shocked the moment he saw her. Two years ago, when Janet first joined Black Rock Co., she worked under him before Charles transferred her to his own side.
But a year ago, she suddenly disappeared. Amos knew the relationship between her and Charles, so he never expected her to reappear under a different identity.
Janice—that was the name she used before she was nine, back when she lived at the coastal resort!
The beautiful woman, upon hearing her name, blinked a thousand emotions through her large, shimmering eyes. She fixed her gaze on Charles, unblinking, while the handsome face that had endlessly haunted her mind now stood clearly before her. Janice silently screamed in her heart,
Charles, I’m back.
Reborn, reclaiming her true identity, she no longer carried the surname Louis. She was Cornelia’s daughter. Janice was her real name!
Suppressing the turmoil inside, Janice reached out her hand toward Charles, but he merely glanced coldly at her and then walked past without a word. Her hand, suspended awkwardly in midair, slowly retracted. His reaction was far colder than she had expected.
He once promised that if they ever parted, she should wait for him in that same spot, and he would come back. But now... it was she who had walked away first. She had been the one to let go of Charles’s hand.
"Let’s go," Amos said, a hint of personal concern in his voice as he decided to bring Janice along. Seeing Charles’s indifferent reaction, even he was a little caught off guard.
Janice bit her lip and nodded before following Amos out of the lobby. Her eyes lingered on Charles’s retreating figure toward the parking lot. She sighed helplessly inside. She knew he was furious — furious enough to have been cold toward their daughter all this time. But she had left because she wanted to come back as a healthier, reborn Janice, to give him that.
