Laney sighed with relief since Draco didn't make things difficult for Janet. Knowing things would be just fine for Janet, Laney decided to go home. She'd been gone for quite some time today. Mrs. Harding was probably wondering where she'd been all day. She would not like it if Laney arrived home late.
Janet had walked Laney to the Mercedes-Maybach. The servant waiting in the car greeted them and informed Laney that the phone had been ringing in short bursts.
The servant then handed the phone to Laney. She took it and saw that there were several missed calls from Garrett.
She didn't get to see Garrett as much after she married him.
The Harding family's business was expanding. Garrett had been too preoccupied with work to call Laney.
Thinking about this made Laney a bit sad.
"Your eyes are getting misty. Is there something wrong?" Janet inquired, concerned. "Is that Mrs. Harding? Does she want you back now?" Janet was afraid that Laney would be wronged.
Laney smiled to calm herself. "There's nothing wrong," she replied softly. "It's Garrett. He's coming here to pick me up."
They hadn't finished talking when a luxury sports car pulled up to the W Marks Studio's front door.
Garrett opened the door and got out of the car. He looked the same as before, but he now possessed a more mature demeanor.
He looked at Janet and said in a joking tone, "Mrs. Larson, can I take Laney away? We're going home."
Janet took a step in front of Laney, hiding her behind her back. "I thought you were too busy, Mr. Harding," she joked, echoing Garrett's response. "Never thought you'd come pick her up yourself!"
Garrett noticed that Janet was more and more like Brandon.
He smiled as he shook his head. "I arrived in the afternoon and went straight home. They told me that Laney had gone to see the dress, but she hadn't gone back yet. I called several times but she never answered. I got worried and decided to come here myself."
Garrett fixed his gaze on Laney. "I'm so sorry," he said apologetically. "I was too busy," he then explained to Janet. "I realized my mistake, so I came here. Could you please give Laney back to me?"
Janet pretended to be deeply considering Garrett's request. She then let go of Laney and winked at her.
Kelly turned to face Laney and gave her a curt nod. "Hello. Mrs. Harding wants to know how the fitting went."
Laney gave Kelly a friendly smile. "There is one more place that needs to be modified. Please tell her that this may take some time."
Janet had been staring at Kelly all this time, sensing something was wrong.
Janet turned to face Laney, who was smiling at Kelly as if she didn't notice anything was wrong. She was truly blessed with a good heart. Kelly, on the other hand, was a different story. She looked at Laney with scorn in her eyes.
Janet had never before seen Kelly.
Was she Garrett's secretary? When did he get a new secretary? Kelly was beautiful and sexy. She also looked like she was intimate with Garrett. It was completely inappropriate.
Janet asked directly, "Mr. Harding, we haven't seen each other in only a few months. When did you find such a beautiful secretary?" And in a rather emphatic tone, she added, "I remember you said you would be faithful to Laney when you married her, right?"
