Janet fell silent for a long time.
She didn't believe a single word that came out of Charis's mouth.
Janet knew that Brandon wouldn't give up on her so easily. He wouldn't have rested until he found her.
Moreover, Brandon was not one to reconcile with his enemies. He was so hostile to Charis previously. Janet knew he wouldn't even allow her to be around him.
Most importantly, he would never write off what Charis had done so easily.
Charis glanced at the time on her watch and broke into a smile. "Miss White, if you want to talk, we should do this some other time. I really have to go to that meeting with Brandon now. So sorry."
She bowed her head slightly to show how "sorry" she was. Then she walked passed Janet almost arrogantly.

Charis had expected that Janet would come looking for Brandon.
In fact, she had already prepared for her return.
When Charis heard from Brandon's assistant that Janet and the Whites were waiting for him in the reception room, she reminded Brandon in a low voice that he didn't like dealing with Janet's parents before. "If you feel it's too troublesome to face them now, I can handle it for you," she then added.
After a few seconds of silence, Brandon nodded and then walked out.
Before that, Charis had mentioned to Brandon more than once that Janet was head over heels in love with him.
Charis made sure to plant an idea in Brandon's mind that Janet was nothing but a hopeless romantic who was a disturbance to his work.
