As far as Emani could think, there seemed to be only one possibility as to why Garrett was protective of Janet.
Janet was either his girlfriend, or he was planning to ask her out.
Thinking of it, Emani couldn't help but glance at Janet's dress again.
Garrett was famous for his generosity. She wondered if the dress was his gift to Janet.
Emani then turned to look at Janet. She was indeed a beautiful woman, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Garrett liked her.
"You're right, Mr. Harding." She forced a smile at Janet, her eyes no longer domineering as before.
She looked calm and composed even though she wasn't happy about it. "This dress does look better on you than it did on me, Miss Lind."
"Thank you, Miss Gomez," Janet could still sense the sarcasm in her words. She was impressed at how fast Emani had changed her attitude. The woman would make a fortune if she acted for a living.
Garrett didn't say anything more. He took a sip of the champagne and glanced at the dancing floor. Ethan was walking toward the hall.
Garrett looked away and glanced at Emani. "You guys carry on."
Emani wasn't in the mood to talk with Janet. She looked down upon women who seduced men and then slept their way to the top.
