Chapter 40
“Kate, what’s wrong?”
Seeing her frozen in the kitchen, Jane couldn’t help but worry about her getting scorched, quickly getting up and walking over to check on her.
Little did she know, Kate was cracking up over a pot of soup and a pile of herbal residue.
“This is…” Jane paused, it finally dawned on her that the aroma she’d been whiffing since early morning was from these!
Kate struggled to suppress her laughter, casting Jane a meaningful glance, “If I tell you, promise me you won’t flip your lid.”
“What is going on?”
“These are all Chinese herbs,” Kate casually picked a few and explained, “This is Evodia fruit, this is Polygonatum, these are deer antler glue, donkey-hide gelatin, and turtle plastron glue…”
“The rest are common ones, you may recognize them, Goji berries, Mulberries, Lilies, and Asparagus

Jane was confused, a puzzled look in her eyes, “What are these for? Why would Dan make such a soup for me?”

Regardless of Dan’s intentions, this ‘magic potion of a soup’ was definitely off the menu.
Kate had a painkiller for her.
“By the way, I’ve got some serious business to discuss with you.”
Jane was taken aback, seeing her laughter replaced by a serious face, she started feeling a bit nervous. “What’s the matter?”
“This morning, I passed by Mr. Colt’s office and overheard his conversation with Ava… Your name was mentioned.”
Jane’s face turned pale.
Ben was Ava’s uncle, and the company’s major shareholder. After the punch-up with Ava the other day, it was only a matter of time before she tattled to her uncle.
Now, staying in the company seemed out of the question, but she had yet to submit her resume elsewhere and there were still a few pending orders…
