Chapter 19 Is there a secret?

Jane was so busy not only she did not have dinner but also got no time to drink water. When Edwin Carter called, she perfunctorily said two sentences and hung up. In the afternoon when she was too tired, Katelyn Max helped her make a cup of instant coffee. Fortunately, by 5 p.m., the first draft of the plan was completed. Although not so satisfactory but can pass. Jane greeted Deana Brad and left the company ahead of time and rushed to Star Enterprise to find their Manager Stark Leonard. When Jane arrived, Stark Leonard enthusiastically behave with Jane. He not only praised her for her good planning and writing, but said a lot of nice words to her. Stark Leonard appointed her to be in charge of the Star Enterprise project and the sudden change of attitude, made her a little worried, worried about GU’s behind Stark Leonard. If I had not been so important in GU’s heart, that would not have happened. After thinking about it, Jane’s heart dropped again. It was not easy to get away from Mr. Stark Leonard. She received a call from Laura Ferdinand, and she has to go to the studio so she left after some time. Jane comes home to change her clothes then she rushed to the studio with the intention to stay with Laura Ferdinand in the evening. Laura Ferdinand turned happily when she saw Jane: "Well, today I want to tell you a very good news." Seeing Laura Ferdinand’s excitement, Jane guessed what it was. She said, "It must be about your brother." Laura Ferdinand kissed Jane and said excitedly, "John Alex got his doctorate successfully and entered Shengtian Group smoothly through layers of screening, he is temporarily working at Shengtian American Headquarters. It is said that Shengtian’s Chairpersons Leonard Carter intends to move its headquarters from Kyoto to Jiangbei, and John Alex is likely to move to Jiangbei to work. " Speaking of the owner of Shengtian Group that is really the person standing at the top of the pyramid. Even GU’s and Ye’s enterprises, which are among the best in China, are less than one-tenth of the Carter Group of companies. Their family is well-known, rich and very smart, especially Leonard Carter, their contemporary family, which has never appeared in front of the media. All they know is that he took over all of Shengtian’s work at the age of 22, and over the next few years he created business records that many people would never be able to break in their lifetime. There are even rumors that they did not appear in public because of his disability. Others say that this household has a very good-looking man, a rare first-class beauty in the world. No matter what the facts are, Jane has no mind to guess, anyway, she has nothing to do with Shengtian Group in her life. She took Laura Ferdinand’s hand and clapped, "Honey, I won’t talk much. If there’s anything I can handle in the studio, you leave that to me and accompany your lover brother. Laura Ferdinand embrace Jane: "My little girl still knows me best. I didn’t say, but she knows that I’m going to the United States." Jane turned a white eye: "What are you saying?" Laura Ferdinand laughed and said, "Let’s go. Tonight dinner is on me." Jane didn’t refuse her. They found a famous barbecue shop nearby while they were talking with each other. In cold weather, hot pot and barbecue shops are very busy, especially those with good taste. So they had to queue up for their turn. They just stood in line did not order food yet. Meanwhile, on Jane’s phone comes an incoming call of Edwin Carter. Jane looked at Laura Ferdinand blushed and answered the phone, "Have you finished your work?" "Yes." Edwin Carter hummed softly and said nothing else. Jane spits out her tongue as if she has nothing to say. Today she’s busy ordering barbecue not free to keep silent with him here. After not hearing from Edwin Carter’s side for a while, she said, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll hang up." The other end of the phone was still silent and after a while, she heard the deep voice of Edwin Carter: "Don’t you have anything to say to me?" Suddenly, she said earnestly, "After doing work, remember to eat. One should take good care of oneself when he is outside." Jane feels that a good and virtuous wife should say things like this. The man on the other end of the phone didn’t say anything, so Jane said, "If there is nothing. I’ll hang up first." "You have nothing else to say to me?" Before she hung up, Edwin Carter had added another sentence. Jane thinks about it again and thinks of Mandy Adam. Maybe he wants her to thank him, so she said: "Thank you." Edwin was completely silent he didn’t even say goodbye and hung up the phone. For the first time, he was so rude. Laura Ferdinand looked at Jane and frowned. "Jane, you were just talking to your man on the phone?" Jane nodded during looking at the black screen of the mobile phone. Laura Ferdinand said, "I fear. You two have been married for a month and talking on the phone like this? Don’t tell me, you two haven’t done anything like a husband and wife do. Jane suddenly blushed. She and Edwin Carter do nothing as a normal husband and wife do, they didn’t even kiss each other. Laura Ferdinand could see that she hates the iron for not being steel. She said to Jane "you want to stay as an old girl for a lifetime? You get married to a person but still, you are reluctant to give yourself to this marriage?" "It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that he never asked me for it" Jane gave her a strange look and whispered. Laura Ferdinand sprayed a mouthful of water out in her mouth after hearing this. She was surprised, "You are a fairy beauty who sleeps beside him every night. He never thought about it. There are only two possibilities. One is that he’s not well. The other is that he doesn’t like women at all. " Jane waved her hand: "No, don’t talk nonsense. He respects me. He said he would not force me to do what I didn’t want to do." Laura Ferdinand looked at Jane and said, "Are you not willing or he is not well? Or does he want to marry you just to find a shield to hide his sexual orientation?" Jane didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore. She immediately diverted Laura Ferdinand’s attention from the topic: "The food is served. I’ll take it for us." Laura Ferdinand did not ask again, after all, this is a private matter between the husband and wife, if Jane does not want to discuss, she also shouldn’t ask her. Laura Ferdinand did not ask, but her heart was not at peace after this. She even thought about Edwin Carter’s time in detail. He eats well, sleeps well and is in good spirits. In any case, he is a healthy man. He should not be ill. There is no problem with the man’s body. When he sees a woman standing naked in front of him, he will not stir any thoughts. Is there really something hidden in it? Would it be true, as Laura Ferdinand said, that the purpose of Edwin Carter’s marriage was to find a shield to hide his sexual orientation? Edwin Carter said when they first met each other that he wants to get married to live a normal life, not because of love.
