Chapter 80 True Friends
Seeing she being indifferent and silent, James realized that she wasn't moved by his words and that she wasn't a woman to be fooled easily. Since there was no one else in the room, he simply put his hands in front of him and said to Jane, "Miss Cooper, I came to apologize to you sincerely. I beg you to forgive me. Or please tell me how you can forgive me?"
Of course Jane knew that James' willingness to beg her wasn't because of how powerful she was. It was definitely because Ken was putting pressure on him that he had to come to her and beg her forgiveness.
Since it was him who broke the rules first, he shouldn't blame her for not easily forgiving him now. Jane replied calmly, "I do know Ken, and I would like to say happy birthday to him on his birthday. But what I care about is the process. I was fooled into going to his birthday party. "
Seeing her finally speaking, James immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, it's all because I didn't think through it. It's all my fault..."
Jane said, "If you want to invite me to his birthday party, you can just make an appointment with me directly. You didn't have to involve my colleague, which meant you lied to me twice. "
James didn't realize the trick in her words. He subconsciously agreed with her and said, "Yes. I was so petty. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ask you out directly, so that's why... Hey, it's all my fault this time, and it has nothing to do with Ken. He really didn't ask me to take you to his birthday party. It would have been a surprise..."
Jane had just suspected that Mary had told him something about her in private. Now James' words no doubt proved it.
He keeps apologizing. Jane said at the right time, "I just want to make it clear and now we have turned over."
Looking at her, James began to say nice words, "I knew Miss Cooper was a generous person. And now I can finally go back and tell Ken that I'm done with this thing."
Jane didn't answer. James continued to flatter her, "I'm very relieved that Eloise can learn from a reasonable person like you. When I have time, I will definitely tell Eloise's parents to invite you to have a meal together. They are lucky to have you as a tutor. "
Jane said as usual, "You don't have to be so polite. Since I said the matter is over, I will never have any opinion on you again. It is my job to teach Eloise and I will do my duty because I'm paid for this."
James met with a rebuff. But he still smiled and said, "I'm glad you're not mad at me. Before coming, I have asked Eloise about the contract. She said that tutors in your company usually sign up for fifty lessons at one time. Then I will sign you a hundred lessons directly. "
Jane said calmly, "Well, the number of class signings depends on the client's personal wishes."
"Personally, I'd be willing to sign 100 classes," James said.
Before Jane could answer him, someone knocked on the reception room door. Immediately afterwards, Sofia pushed the door in.
She briefly greeted James and began to sign the contract.
While waiting, Sofia spoke to James, "You look familiar. Isn't this your first time here with us?"
In the face of outsiders, James is still very arrogant. He casually said "um" with a high horse.
Sofia thought for a while and said, "Are you originally a customer of Miss Johnson? Mary Johnson."
James lowered his head to play with his phone. James lowered his head to play with his phone. Without raising his eyes, he gave a lukewarm 'um' to her again.
Jane smiled without saying a word, just thinking that people were complicated. Mary Johnson framed her simply. This time, she was lucky because Ken didn't mean to make trouble for her. But what if it was someone else? She would be done.
The contract was settled quickly. Jane and James each signed their names. James was very polite to Jane and thanked her all the time.
Jane was also very nice to James when other people were around. She smiled and said, "I'll take you out."
James said, "No, I'll let you work. Please call me anytime when you need me."
Although he said this, in fact, he would never take the initiative to call her. After all, he didn't even have her phone number. Moreover, Ken valued her very much. He didn't dare to interact with her at all.
After James left, Only Jane and Sofia were in the reception room. Sofia took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly, "You have performed very well recently."
Jane smiled, "Thank you Miss Moore for taking care of me."
Sofia said, "It's your own credit. I won't take credit for things I don't help."
Jane said, "Of course you helped me. After I came here, you introduced me to my first client."
Sofia got angrier the more she thought about it. But now she only could say, "You become the tutor of the Smith family by yourself. As for the other clients you find with the resources of the Smith family, you deserve them."
Jane smiled, "Anyway, I'd like to thank Miss Moore for helping me."
From Jane's pretty face, Sofia couldn't tell whether she was thanking her or mocking her.
After secretly adjusting her breathing, she said, "Based on your relationship with Charles, I should take care of you."
Jane said, "When are you and Mr. Lee free? I want to invite you two for dinner."
Sofia smiled and replied, "You're thanking us for doing your job well. Charles is too busy. We usually only eat together when there are social events. Last night, I also talked to him for a long time before he agreed to come to my house for dinner. "
Her common words actually had a deep meaning. Jane had already known that Sofia liked Charles. But Sofia mistakenly thought Jane liked Charles too. But in fact, the person who liked Charles was not her but Aaron. Sofia found the wrong rival!
Jane was thinking of him when he came.
Someone knocked on the door of the reception room. It was Aaron. He stood at the door and said, "Miss Moore, are you done? I have a client coming to sign a contract."
Sofia said, "We're done. You could bring the client in."
Jane stood up and said, "Then I'll go out first."
Jane went out. Aaron led his client inside.
She winked at him as they passed each other, and he responded with small gestures. From Sofia's point of view, it seemed like something was wrong with the two of them.
After sending the client away, Aaron sat down and messaged Jane, "What did you mean by that look? What did she say to you?"
Jane said, "It's not the first day she's treated me like an imaginary enemy. I'll give you first-hand information. She said Charles went to her house for dinner last night. I don't know if it's true or not."
Aaron didn't send her a message for a long time. Jane typed and asked, "What's wrong? You can't take it?"
Aaron messaged back, "If I invite Charles home to dinner, will he come?"
