After Being Cheating

Chapter 34 From Now On We are Rivals in Love

After he briefly glanced at Bill, Brian continued to pack his things, and said: "Just be obedient and stay

in the military camp and maybe Janet may not come to the training. I've heard that now she's the

assistant CEO. Do you really think it is necessary for an assistant CEO to join the training?"

'Assistant CEO?' A severe, cold face came to Bill's mind, and then suddenly called out a name:

"Daniel!"

'Is Jane Daniel's special assistant? 'What is Jane doing? Why did she choose to work as an assistant

CEO at the SL Group in a domain that doesn't even matches with what she majored in?'

"And, " began Brian. He remembered of a piece of entertainment news which he had just seen by

chance, and said to Bill, "I've learned a rumor which is widely spread on the internet that Janet is

actually Daniel's fiancee, but Daniel already announced that he has a girlfriend. After all, it is, very

complicated. You'd better not step in it, for your own good."

Bill was unconvinced, an while he curled his lips, he said, "It is just a joke. Jane just graduated and it's

impossible for her to be Daniel's fiancee."

Brian looked at Bill, and said, "You should go back now. If you still want to write to her, I can help you

send the letters."

Bill didn't write to her any more, because the last letter Jane sent him had already broken his heart.

He got disappointed at the thought of it, and still trying to relax, he said, "Brian, from now on we are

rivals in love." He had to train himself hard and continuously strove to get rid of his father and

grandfather's control. In this case, he could get a lot of time to go after Jane after he gained his

freedom.

'How does Bill know so much about Jane?' thought Brian. He suddenly became serious, and shouted

at Bill, "Get out! If you dare say another word, you'll have 100 push-ups as punishment!"

Bill felt even more distressed now and left. While passing by the training field he started running like a

madman, eager to be quickly armed with twenty pounds of heavy burden and to begin the cross-

country running.

He now had to train better and work even hard in order to become a full member of the military at an

earlier time. When he would manage to get a higher ranking position than Brian's, and have the upper

hand, only then he could go after Jane and betroth her.

But would Jane also be willing to wait for him so long?

In the northern suburb of the city

Samuel personally took his daughter to the camp and sighed when he saw the camp's strict and tough

condition.

He tried to persuade his daughter again: "Jane, you can return home with me. You don't have to go

through such hardships."

Janet waved her hand at him, and said, "Father, I'm not a child anymore, and I have decided I want to

undergo the military training."

"Do you remember the time you fainted during your junior high training? I'll be worried sick about you if

such a thing happens again."

Janet, of course, remembered. She had fainted because at that time she was also on her period like

she was now, and because she was sitting under the blazing sun for over two hours.

"Father, I feel healthier after all these years. I won't faint again." And she was right. After several years

of careful nursing, her overall condition had improved during her period. She couldn't be as weak as

she was in junior high.

Samuel failed to persuade his daughter, so now he had nothing left to do but leave. Before his

departure, he spoke to Janet, "You have to take good care of yourself here, and call me immediately if

there is anything you need. Also, I've sent some guards here for you, and you can ask them anytime to

help you if you find yourself in any sort of difficulty or distress."

"Father, I don't want any guards or any help. Please let them go. I'll be safe here from anything or

anyone bad."

Janet glanced at the woods in the near distance and thought that it would not be dangerous since the

company had closely examined this place before choosing it as a training field for its employees.

Janet sighed, and thought to herself, 'Alas! I'm an adult now, but father still takes care of me as if I were

a little child.'

Samuel looked again at the group of interns in the near distance and found that they were constantly

staring at him and his daughter. Samuel thought for a little while and still felt worried about Janet. "Um.

I should be going now, " he said.

He drove away alone, leaving the guards with Jane.

After she found her tent, Janet briefly arranged her stuff and then laid in it to rest for a while.

As she learned that the training would last for a full week, Janet had taken the precaution of being

totally prepared and brought plenty of stuff along with her.

In the early evening, the company gave each employee a set of camouflage clothing.

They had to wear it when they were gathered together the next day.

While Janet was wearily checking the information on her phone, she heard a conversation of her two

colleagues in the next tent: "I've heard that our instructors are special soldiers brought from the city

headquarter. They must be very handsome, for sure!"

"Yeah. I also learned from my manager that there would also be a military officer present!"

"Military officer? But military trainings are always organized and conducted by some common squad

leaders or small company commanders, right?"

"Who knows? Whatever; just as long as he's handsome!"

"Ha-ha! You're dreaming too much. Since he is a military officer, he must be a middle-aged man with a

certain qualification and experience earned over the years. And speaking of years, I'm guessing he

may be forty or maybe more, fifty!"

"Yeah, you're right."

While she was listening to their conversation, Janet thought over what she had just heard a moments

ago and believed that this aspect didn't really matter at all.

Whether he was just an instructor, or a military officer, she still didn't know him.

The next morning, just a little after dawn, a series of loud whistles woke Janet out of her deep slumber.

She looked at the time with her eyes still half-closed, only to find that it was just five o'clock in the

morning.

She was perplexed, since she had never risen up out of bed so early!

A man shouted outside their tents in a resonant voice: "I will give all of you half an hour to prepare

yourselves and gather together on time at 5:30. If you are a minute late, you will have to run one

kilometer as punishment!"

After he finished talking, all the people in the tents started to loudly get up and panic.

Janet sat up, half-asleep. She rubbed her disheveled long hair and began to regret her choice, 'Why

did I come here to torture myself? I'm so crazy. Why didn't I stay home and sleep in?'

At 5:10, Janet had already put on the camouflage clothing and staggered out of the tent.

While she saw that the water supply area was packed full with her colleagues, also dressed in

camouflage clothing, she decided to go back and get some later!

Janet felt that she was still drowsy, even though she woke up.

After getting back to her tent, she somehow fell asleep again.

Janet suddenly woke, startled by the harsh sound of the whistle, and then climbed out of her tent only Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

to find that the others had already gathered together on the open space in the near distance.

'Oh my god. I'm so screwed!' She quickly fastened her belt, put on her camouflage shoes, and then ran

out of the tent towards the gathered team.

While she saw that all members had started to count off, she had to stand at the end of the line.

"1, 2... 21." Janet was so scared that she was late, but in the end succeeded in calling out her

corresponding number.

However, she still looked different from the others. Janet was surprised to find that she forgot to wear

her uniform's camouflage cap...

A military officer, who stood in front of the training members, looked at them and gravely spoke, "Good

morning everyone. My name is Brian Han and we will spend the next seven days together and on the

tough training course ahead..."

It didn't matter what he said next; Janet had stopped listening to him altogether.

She couldn't believe that the world was so small that she could meet Brian here!

She stared at the instructors, who were standing in the front row, and found that it was indeed Brian

who had taken the lead! Brian glanced at Janet and then quickly looked away, as if they were complete

strangers.

Next, it was time for the instructors and the interns to introduce themselves to one another. Brian stood

aside and saw the seven instructors and the interns make their self-introductions.

When it was Janet's turn to introduce herself, everyone looked at her.

Janet felt depressed, and believed that it would not be a good idea for her if the new colleagues got to

know her.

"Hi, everybody. My name is Janet Shao and I'm 22 years old. Nice to meet you all!"

In fact, she was just unwilling to meet someone who disliked her.

This time Brian dared to look another time at Janet, who now attracted everyone's attention and

seemed to be their only focus.
