Chapter 41: Being Nice for No Reason?
After work, in order not to cause any more trouble, Jennifer packed her things early and went
downstairs. She was going to buy a new phone with Rose.
When she arrived at the door, the same thing as yesterday happened again. A group of fans wearing Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
masks surrounded her and Rose.
"It's her. It's her... She came out."
"Let's go..."
The scene from yesterday was still vivid in her mind. Jennifer could still vaguely feel pain in her ankle,
and she immediately panicked.
Rose saw that they were wearing Jackson's fan club t-shirt with Jackson's blue sticker on their face.
She suddenly realized these must be Jackson's die-hard fans.
With the thought of bestie before idols, she pulled Jennifer behind her. "Hey, I'm telling you guys,
Jackson has already clarified on Instagram that my best friend here has nothing to do with him,
absolutely nothing at all. You guys don't do anything crazy..."
A few leaders hurriedly explained, "No, no, we are here to apologize for those crazy fans..."
Both of them were stunned.
"This gift is to show how sorry we are. I hope you won't be affected by those people. We apologize to
you on Jackson's behalf."
They handed a yellow paper bag to Rose. Inside was a beautifully packaged box of chocolate. It looked
expensive judging by the logo.
Rose was confused by the sudden change of tone. She turned around and made way for them. She
raised her head and looked curiously at Jennifer. "Jennifer..."
Jennifer was stunned too. Yesterday, they were throwing eggs at her, but today, they were giving her
chocolate. These young fans were really capricious.
She didn't want to argue with these young girls.
"I will accept the apology, but the gift..."
"Ahem, we will also accept the gift. After all, after what happened yesterday, Jennifer was injured and
caught in the rain. She had a fever all night. So we should take the gift, thank you."
Rose directly interrupted Jennifer's polite rejection and reached out to take the chocolate.
"And this..."
"This too, and this..."
Taking one after another, the gift pile almost buried Rose.
The fans finally dispersed after some time. Jennifer looked at Rose emotionlessly. "You are the one
who wanted the gifts, you have to bring it back yourself."
"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't want these. I'll take advantage of it then, as a reward for taking care of you
last night."
Rose was holding a lot of things and she tried to get a taxi on the side of the road. Some fans even
helped her to hail a taxi.
This treatment was far from the mess Jennifer endured yesterday.
Jennifer sighed resignedly. Looking at the traffic jam, she finally took out her card from her bag and
took the train.
"That's fine. Let's just go home early to avoid unnecessary troubles." Jennifer thought.
She was exhausted the whole day and she only wanted to have a good night's sleep. She hoped that
nothing else would happen tonight.
In the president's office of the Joy Group, a man in a suit stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. He
frowned and watched as the crowd of fans gradually dispersed. His face finally relaxed.
"James, tell the security department to prohibit these people from entering within 100 metres around
the company."
James, who was behind him, stopped for a moment before he seemed to understand something and
answered, "Yes sir."
After James left, Hans was still standing in front of the window. Looking at Jennifer walking toward the
subway entrance, he felt a little guilty.
"Fill the bathtub up in an hour."
The person on the other end of the phone responded very quickly.
"Sir, are you coming home for dinner? What should we prepare?"
"I'm not going back." After saying this, he hesitated again. "Prepare something light for dinner."
Jennifer walked into the neighbourhood tiredly.
Behind all the greeneries in the neighbourhood, there was a limited edition blue sports car. In the
driver's seat, behind a pair of black sunglasses, the man showed a look of pity. "She was probably tired
today because of what happened yesterday." He thought.
Seeing that she returned home safely, the blue sports car slowly drove out of the neighbourhood.
When Jennifer arrived home, Nancy, the maid, stood at the door. When she saw Jennifer, she looked at
the time in surprise. Jennifer arrived at almost exactly the same time as Mr. Hans had told her. She
thought for a while and understood something. She asked tentatively, "Miss Jennifer, the bathwater is
ready. It should be just nice to take a bath now."
Jennifer was stunned for a moment and then she put on a weary but grateful smile. "Thank you."
Nancy hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jennifer as she walked towards the bathroom and
asked, "Miss Jennifer, what would you like to eat for dinner?"
Jennifer was caught by surprise. She looked back at Nancy puzzledly and said,
"Anything is fine, maybe something lighter."
Nancy nodded, but Jennifer was suspicious of her compliance. The servants in the Miller's family never
asked what she wanted to eat. They always prepared meals according to Hans's taste. Even if they
knew that Hans would not come back that night, they still prepared dinner or supper according to his
taste.
Jennifer's existence only meant that the servants would set an extra plate for her.
Today, Nancy seemed a little odd.
"Did Mr. Hans call?"
Jennifer was not a fool. Without Hans's order, most servants would prefer to do nothing.
Nancy hesitated for a moment. Thinking of what Hans said on the phone, she shook her head quickly.
"No, it's just that I watched the news in the past two days. I know that Miss Jennifer was being bullied
outside. You have always treated us nicely. It's not necessary for Mr. Hans to order us to do something
small like this."
Jennifer was usually really nice towards these servants even though some of them looked down on her,
thinking of her as a gold digger. However, some of them still cared about Jennifer deep down.
After all, if Jennifer really became Mrs. Miller, her temper would make their lives easier.
Hearing this answer, there was a trace of disappointment in Jennifer's eyes. She did not ask any more
questions and went directly into the bathroom barefooted.
The steam in the bathroom was dense, fogging up the glass bathroom door, which faintly reflected
Jennifer's graceful figure. Without looking closely, the bruises on her body were not really noticeable.
After taking a shower, she soaked herself in the bathtub. The warm water submerged her and she
finally let out a long sigh of relief. This was probably the most comfortable moment in the day.
The white aroma lamp emitted an elegant aroma. Her head rested on the edge of the bathtub and she
looked up at the ceiling. She let her mind go blank and her consciousness gradually blurred. The halo
around the white light overhead grew larger and larger as if it was going to engulf her. The black and
white lights kept twinkling as if they were playing hide-and-seek with her. After a while, they
disappeared and everything in front of her went dark.
