Chapter 399: Senior Designer Patty

After work that Friday, Laney accompanied Janet home as usual.

"Are you busy with work lately? Why have you been acting so mysteriously the past few days?" Laney
asked with slight frown.

She still lived in the same old apparent, which was near Janet’s new place.

Because their homes were relatively near each other, Laney usually walked home with Janet.

Janet sighed.

"I’m looking for a house."

"I heard that Mr.Larson is lending you a house."

"I know, but Mr Larson’s villa is way too luxurious for me.I have to spare some time to find a new
apartment" Janet said warily.

It was clear that the matter was really stressing her out "Let me help you.I have nothing to do after work
anyway.Are you looking for an apartment near the office?"

Secretly.

Laney couldn’t help but think that Janet was being too naive.

This was the most prosperous city center in Seacisco. Ordinary wage earners like them couldn’t afford
rent here.

"Of course it’d be great if it’s near the office.I know that housing there is really expensive, but I was able
to find a cheap apartment before, right? I’m going to try my luck."



But finding an apartment at the right price point was not as easy as Janet thought.

After making a few enquiries, she found that rent in the area was ridiculously high.

Although the apartments on the periphery of the city were much cheaper, she’d have to spend a lot of
time commuting.

If she wanted to get to work on time, she’d have to get up two hours earlier than usual.

Laney figured that Ethan didn’t want Janet to live in a tiny apartment in the suburb and spend hours
commuting anymore, nor did he want to expose his identity.

That would’ve explained why he gave her a house under the name of the Larson Group.

"Apartments here are really expensive.If you’re looking to rent a place as cheap as your old place,
you’ll have to consider renting in the suburbs," Laney suggested.

Knowing who Ethan was, Laney thought it was more reasonable for Janet to just live in the villa.

Janet shook her head, feeling depressed and helpless due to the exorbitant rent prices.

When she came home, Ethan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Did you go looking for a new apartment again?" Ethan asked, leaning back on the spacious sofa.

The room was warm enough today, so he only wore a casual cotton shirt.

Feeling sore and tired, Janet rubbed her shoulders and threw herself into Ethan’s arms.

"My conscience is killing me not to live in a fancy house like that.I feel like a freeloader, Ethan.This
house doesn’t belong to us, nor is it our home."



Ethan wrapped his arms around Janet’s waist and held her tightly.

Twirling her hair with his fingers, he murmured, "Given our current situation, it’ll be difficult to buy a
house.You’ve been taking care of me in the hospital lately.Your work must’ve been affected, right? Why
don’t you stop looking for a new place and focus your time and energy on work first?"

Leaning on Ethan’s chest, Janet could feel his well-defined muscles through his thin clothes.

Her eyelids drooped and she said resignedly, "I guess we have no choice but to live here for the time
being and move out as soon as we have enough money."

Janet had been busy with her work lately.

The following day, while Janet was poring over her work, Tiffany came to her desk again.

"Please see me in my office, Lind."

Janet promptly put aside her work and went to Tiffany’s office.

To her surprise, not only Tiffany was there but also a beautiful and sexy woman.

Lounging on the sofa, the corners of the woman’s slanted eyes were slightly raised, and her big black
locks hung loosely around her shoulders.

Her stunningly beautiful face was unforgettable.

"We have a big project on our hands, Lind.You’ll be in charge, along with the senior designer, Patty
Jenkins."

Tiffany gestured at the beauty sitting on the sofa.



"It’s nice to meet you, Miss Lind.Good luck to us and our cooperation," said Patty with a reserved smile.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Jenkins.I hope we’ll have a pleasant cooperation, too."

Janet nodded with a smile.She had heard of Patty.

This beautiful designer was very famous in the design department.

Not only was she a looker, she was also very talented.

Plus, she was the girlfriend of the director of operations of the Larson Group, so everyone tried to curry
favor with her.

However, the senior designers were not on the same floor with them.

Janet didn’t really know much about Patty, and she had only seen her several times in the department
meetings.

Janet felt that Patty was a bit arrogant and unapproachable, but perhaps it was all justifiable since she
was indeed young and talented.
