Chapter 12 Gather together to play games

When the wooden door opened, there was a big lawn, pavilions, rockeries, fountains, flowers… Jane followed Sienna Henry and after a few steps, she saw a three-floor French-style building. The interior designing of the building is simple and very consistent with the personality of Edwin Carter. Jane sighs, this scenery looks like a paradise, and if one can often come here he can live for some more years. Sienna Henry did not enter the room and stood at the door and said, "You know Chairman Edwin is here he will not let you live in those ordinary rooms." Jane thinks in her mind that those rooms are also very expensive and good. Ordinary, from which angle? However, those rooms are in a separate area of the villa and cannot be compared with this mansion. Sienna Henry added, "Mrs. Carter, this is a private area. You don’t have to worry no other people can get in here." Mrs. Carter? For the first time, someone called herself that way. Jane blushed and her heart beats a little faster: "Sienna Henry, you can call me Jane." Sienna Henry smiled and said, "You are the wife of Chairman Edwin Carter. I can’t find a more suitable title than "Mrs. Carter" to address you. Sienna Henry’s words have a deep meaning, but so far she and Edwin didn’t even hold each other’s hands, but Sienna’s words made her face even hotter. "You go in and have some rest. I’ll have some work to do." Sienna Henry smiled and politely takes the leave. Jane stands in the big living and look around. For a moment, she does not know what to do. At the same time, Edwin Carter came in from outside, took Jane’s backpack politely that was she was carrying on her shoulder and took the lead in going upstairs: "The room is on the second floor," he said. He has long legs, but he is taking steps slowly to stay in pace with her. Jane followed him and said, "Edwin Carter, can I discuss something with you?" Edwin Carter opens the door and enters the room. He puts Jane’s backpack on the luggage counter. Then he says, "These kinds of matters of arranging rooms Sienna Henry deals." Jane: "..." Okay, as she has no other choice, so she accepts it. Edwin Carter went to the window and opened the thick curtain. Looking out of the wide floor window, he could see the boundless sea. The sea seemed to connect with the sky in the distance. As the sea and sky are the same. The view is very pleasant, sometimes the sound of waves beating against rocks can also be heard. "What a beautiful place!" Jane said from the bottom of her heart. "If you like it, we can come here often." Edwin Carter said. Jane shook her head and said: "I don’t like it this much." It’s not that she dislikes the place. It’s just she doesn’t want to spend her hard-earned money at this kind of place and did not want to use Edwin Carter’s money either. Although Edwin has given her his bank card a long time ago, but she had no intention of using it at all. So she can walk with dignity if they cannot make this marriage work and divorce each other. Edwin Carter could not hear what Jane was thinking. He also did not ask her any more questions and said, "Let’s go to dinner first, after dinner you take some rest because in the afternoon you have to take part in the Department’s activities." Jane nodded, "OK." After a little time, Edwin Carter said awkwardly, "Jane, if you want to enjoy a hot spring at night after coming back, we have a private hot spring pool here." Jane instinctively shook her head. "I’ll go to the hot spring with everyone." Edwin Carter again said straightly: "No man wants to see his wife wear so little that other men can see her." Uh… Suddenly, she felt that Edwin Carter’s demand was not so unreasonable. Even though he had no love for her, but he has the right to give an opinion about such kind of things. After taking a nap, Jane joined her colleagues. Katelyn Max envied her and said, "Jane, you’re so lucky to live in the luxury villa area." "It’s not so convenient to live with your senior officials," Jane said. Here the senior officials refer to Edwin Carter, but Katelyn Max thought of Sienna Henry and nodded with approval: "You are right; it is more enjoyable to live with familiar people. Don’t worry, tonight you can enjoy with us." "Forget it," Jane said while thinking in her mind, what if Edwin Carter sends people to pick her in the middle of the night? For everyone’s enjoyment, the Personnel Department has prepared many interesting activities. Everyone got divided into four teams, red, blue, yellow and green. The first activity is the beer competition. There were two-liter mugs filled with beer. One man and one woman make a team. Every team takes one mug and have to drink it. The one who drinks first will be the winner. The last one to drink will get punishment to choose between truth and dare. Every team ask department managers to take the lead in taking up the challenge. In the first round, Jane’s Red Team won first place in the competition, Yellow Team was the last to drank, and their members accepted the punishment of picking one truth or dare. When the Yellow team was being punished, Chairman appears and for a moment he became the focus of attention. Edwin Carter ordered everyone to continue playing. He sat down and watched the game quietly. The Chairman has come so everyone’s behavior becomes a little restrained, but when the host announces the second game, everyone throws aside their scruples. The second is the game of bite apple. Hang an apple up with a rope. Four groups each group chose a couple of men and women. They have to bite from both sides of the apple. The losing group will be punished by ice-dripping water. Jane is the main person of this project, and the Red Team members nominate her to for this challenge. Jane looked towards Edwin Carter with full attention, only to see his changing look; she couldn’t help it and stepped forward. Wilson Paul of the Red Team also volunteered to fight with Jane. At the same time, Sienna Henry also looked at Edwin Carter, but what she saw was different from what Jane saw. Sienna Henry clapped her hands immediately and said, "Do you want Chairman Edwin to come and join the game?" Obviously everyone wants to but nobody dares to make a fuss. Now that his personal assistant has spoken, everyone got the courage to speak. The crowd shouted in harmony, "Chairman Edwin! Chairman Edwin! Chairman Edwin!" Chairman Edwin took a long time to stand up, his cold expressions are showing that he had no alternative than to accept this challenge. Seeing him coming down from the stage, she kept praying in his heart, hoping that he doesn’t choose her. However, Edwin Carter willfully come near to her and stand at the opposite side of her. "Wow!" The crowd screamed with excitement. Girls regretted if they had known that Chairman Edwin Carter would take part in this game. Even if they got soaked into cold water, they would have accepted the challenge. Unlike the excited crowd, Jane just looked down but didn’t dare to look at Edwin carter. If she any idea that Edwin Carter will take part, she had refused to take part. "Ready!" The host shouted. The other three groups immediately started but these two people just gazed at the apple hanging between them. Jane bowed her head, she thought that she should admit defeat, Edwin whispered to her: "you really want to lose?"
