Because Janet didn't get anything useful from Charis parents, she felt a bit upset.
But she couldn't give up.
She listed down all the people related to Charis, intending to track them down on her own and talk to them one by one.
Although she didn't know how long it would take to find a clue, she believed that she would find a way sooner or later.
By the end of December, Janet went back to work in the W Marks Studio in Barnes.
Over the past few months, she often worked remotely. This time, she came here mainly because Brandon was going to work on their branch in Barnes this month. Naturally, she wanted to be with him, and that way, she could go back to work at the studio.
Not long after she returned to work, Draco strolled into the office.
They hadn't seen each other in a few months. His hair had grown long enough to be braided, which made him look like an artist.
Janet found it strange that he was here. Her colleagues told her that he was on a business trip abroad and wouldn't be back in a few days. She didn't expect to meet him in the studio so soon.
"Good morning, Mr. Wesley. Coffee? I was going to buy one for myself downstairs." Janet was a bit tense. After all, she had been working remotely for the past few months and didn't know whether Draco was really okay with it or not.
"No, thank you. Have a seat first, Janet." As usual, Draco was elegant and gentle. He had always been a composed man whose voice was smooth as honey, able to make anyone calm down.
But Janet was far from calm. She sat back in her chair nervously, clenching and unclenching her fingers.
What did he want to talk to her about? Did he want to fire her?
Over the past few months, so much had happened. Most of her attention had been focused on Brandon and Charis. She couldn't work as hard as before due to this.
Before Draco could say anything, Janet hurriedly blurted, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wesley. I've been distracted by some personal affairs over the past few months. But don't worry. I'll make up for it. Please give me another chance, Mr. Wesley."
