Chapter 18 - Someone With Your Name

"Yes, yes," Lucy chimed in.

 

Amy replied, "It was an instruction sent about two weeks ago. At that time, you were both busy with your own tasks, so you naturally didn't know."

 

Janice thought it was reasonable. Two weeks ago, she had a case and was also occupied with marriage matters. How could she have been in the mood to care?

 

"Do you have any information about that entrepreneur? Share it so we can know too." Lucy asked curiously.

 

Amy shook her head. "I only know that his name is Christopher Bateman."

 

"Who?" Janice was stunned.

 

"Christopher Bateman."

 

However, Janice was perplexed by this name. "Christopher Bateman? This guy has the same name as my husband. Is it just a coincidence?"

 

"Do you have any photos of him?" Janice asked hurriedly.

 

Amy shook her head. "I don't. That's why Linda wants to be the first to interview him, so that she can show off."

 

After Amy left, Lucy whispered to Janice.

 

"Why don't we follow that story together? Maybe we can do better than Linda."

 

Janice was a little hesitant. "Isn't that bad?"

 

"There's nothing bad about it. This article was made public to our department, and it doesn't belong to just her. Besides, there's a performance appraisal at the end of the month. Have you got enough articles?"

 

Janice shook her head.

 

"Let's work together to get this exclusive interview then. Once we have it, we won't have to worry about the appraisal."

 

Upon hearing Lucy's words, Janice was a little tempted. After all, such a hot article would be better than some minor news piece.

 

"Well, tell me what you need me to do."

 

"Okay, I'll go and collect some information about that guy first."

 

"Okay."

 

That night, when Janice returned home, Christopher was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When he heard the sound of the opening door, he looked up and saw the bump on Janice's head. He put down his book and walked over with a frown. "What happened?"

Janice didn't want Christopher to know that he had been bullied in the station, so she said, "Nothing, I just accidentally bumped into something."

 

Christopher was a little speechless. He pulled her over to the sofa and make her sit down. He then took some ointment and applied it on her.

 

Janice watched Christopher carefully applying ointment while gently blowing on her wound. She couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart.

 

Thinking of the interesting things she had heard in the TV station, she couldn't help but share them with Christopher. "Chris, I learned about someone with your name today."

 

 

Christopher was applying ointment with a cotton stick. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. "What person has my name?"

 

Janice said, "It's a new rising talent in the technology field, who has just set up a new office here."

 

Hearing this, Christopher was stunned. He then glanced at the book he had set down on the coffee table. He was about to quietly move it to one side while Janice wasn't looking, but he didn't expect his actions to instead attract her attention.

 

"By the way, what book were you reading just now?" Janice picked up the book on the coffee table before him. Christopher had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

 

Janice flipped through the book and could not help but be surprised. "You're reading a science and technology book. What a coincidence. Do you also like these books?"

 

Christopher said in a daze, "Kind of."

 

"Oh, then you continue reading. I'm going to write up some news article."

 

Janice got up and walked towards the room without asking any more questions.

 

It wasn't until she left that Christopher let out a sigh of relief.

 

Earlier, he thought Janice was suspicious.

 

"Why should I feel guilty when I haven't done anything wrong?"

 

Christopher felt a little exasperated.

...

 

The next morning, as soon as Janice got up, she received a call from Lucy.

 

"Janice, I've found out some information. I heard that Mr. Bateman has been going to his offices quite frequently these days. Why don't we go there bright and early to lie in wait? You stake out the back door and I guard the front door."

 

"Okay."

 

Janice hung up the phone.

 

Christopher had already prepared breakfast and beckoned her.

 

Janice walked over and saw that it was quite sumptuous. She quickly sat down and started eating.

 

Christopher sat opposite her and watched her wolf down the food. He couldn't help but frown. "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." It was like dealing with a child sometimes.

 

 

He handed her a glass of water.

 

Janice took it and said, "I have an interview task this morning. I'm in a hurry."

 

"Oh? Then after you finish eating, I'll give you a ride."

 

"Okay."

 

After breakfast, the two of them went out together. Christopher went to pick up the car and Janice waited at the gate.

 

Not long after, Christopher drove over in the black Bentley.

 

Janice opened the front passenger door and got into the car.

 

Janice had already decided that Christopher's car was borrowed. "Christopher is an adult and he has his own ideas. There's nothing wrong for him to borrow a car. Besides, I could give some money to the owner when I get paid". She thought.

 

As they drove, Christopher looked at Janice and asked, "Where are you doing the interview?"

 

Janice said, "Just send me somewhere close to Techno Tower."

 

Hearing this, Christopher was surprised. "What a coincidence. I happen to be going there too."

 

"Is that so?"

 

Janice was stunned for a moment. Then she thought of something and asked, "Those are all technology companies. What are you going to do there?"

 

Only then did Christopher realize his mistake and quickly corrected himself, "I... said that Techno Tower is along the way to where I'm heading. Perfect."

After listening to his explanation, Janice didn't probe further. She just nodded.

 

Only then did Christopher let out a sigh of relief. He almost exposed himself, but he thought of something. He looked at Janice and said, "By the way, what are you going there for?"

 

 

Janice replied, "Of course I'm going for an interview."

 

"An interview? To who?"

 

Christopher asked.

 

"It's the rising talent I told you last night, the one who has the same name as you."

 

Janice said.

 

Christopher was stunned. "An interview with him?"

 

Why wasn't he aware?

 

With such doubts, the car stopped at the Techno Tower.

 

Janice unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car. She waved at him and said, "I'm going. Drive carefully."

 

Christopher nodded. Seeing Janice turn around and walk towards the building, he quickly called Rob. "I have an interview with the TV station today?"

 

On the other side of the phone, Rob was confused. "I didn't receive any notice of your interview. Oh, but recently, a reporter from a TV station has been making appointments. However, you said that you wouldn't accept any interviews, so I keep rejecting them."

 

 

Hearing Rob's words, Christopher was relieved.

 

But since there was no appointment, what was Janice doing here?

 

Christopher couldn't figure it out. So he drove the car into the garage and took the private elevator to his office.

 

Today, Christopher's schedule was very full. He was in meetings the whole morning.

 

At about 10 o'clock, he suddenly thought of something and ordered his secretary, Cecilia Oden, "Go and get Rob."

 

"Yes."

 

Cecilia turned around and went out.

 

Soon, Rob walked in. "Mr. Bateman, you're looking for me."

 

Christopher looked at Rob and said, "Go and take a look around the building, see if Janice is around?"

 

Rob was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to enquire further. He nodded and turned to leave.
