Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 285

Now that Laney became Garrett's secretary, she got to see Janet often.

Today, she invited Janet out to dinner. "Thank you for recommending me for this job," Laney said as she handed the menu over to Janet. "This one's going to be my treat!"

Although Janet hadn't really done much, Laney never liked owing favors to anyone.

Janet waved her hand and smiled. "It's nothing, Miss Garcia. You're the one who saved my life. I don't even know how to thank you properly for that."

"You don't need to be so formal with me. We are friends now. Please just call me Lane. It's what all my buddies back at the club call me." A wistful smile played on Laney's lips.

Janet leaned forward, curious as a cat. "A club? What kind of club is it?"

Laney stopped short. She had blurted out the words without thinking. "Well... You know, just a hobby club." She cleared her throat and took a sip of water. "But they've all relocated to the countryside. I plan on saving a lot so that I can invite them back to the city."

"How about you, where are you residing at the moment?"

"Down at Ester Street."

"That's quite a distance from work. How about I help you find a place near Larson Group?" Janet offered. "The closer you live, the more convenient it is in terms of commute. Actually, I live in a pretty good neighborhood, with lots of affordable apartments. Would you like me to make an inquiry for an available unit?"

The opportunity was too good to pass up, and it would certainly be easier for Laney to protect Janet if they lived close to each other. "That's great! Please do, and thank you."

Thrilled, Janet wasted no time and immediately called up the real estate agent.
