Chapter 262: Car AccidentJanet’s mind slipped out of focus when she read the message from Ethan.
What had happened? He had already agreed to have dinner with her.
Why did he now suddenly say that he couldn’t make it? "That sucks!"
She put her phone aside and began packing her things up in an unhappy mood.
Gerda noticed that she looked unhappy so she nudged her and said, "We have all heard the exciting news! You’re going to be
the chief designer of a project, why do you look so down?"
"I’m not unhappy.You’re just imagining things!"
Jpinched Gerda’s chubby face gently and made a face at her.
Regardless of what Ethan had said, she was in a good mood today so she didn’t let it get to her.
Perhaps he really was caught up with skind of emergency.
When Gerda noticed that Jwas about to leave, an idea popped into her head.
"It’s your first tin charge of a project.Would you like to celebrate the achievement perhaps? There is a new pizza place
downtown.I heard the pizza from there is amazing.Do you want to give it a try?"
Jblinked her eyes with confusion.
After due thought, she nodded and said, "Sure, I’m free tonight anyway."
In any event, it didn’t seem like Ethan would be hany tsoon.
Gerda was happy when she heard Janet’s answer.
last design draft urgently today.That pizza place is really popular, we might have to wait in a queue for a while."
Jwas amused by the sad look at Gerda’s face.
She responded, "Take it easy.I’ll got ahead of you and wait in the line, then you can cjoinlater.How does that sound?"
"Janet, you are an angel from heaven!" Gerda hugged her and kissed her appreciatively.
"I love you so much."
"Alright, alright.Go finish your design quickly, or the pizza might get cold by the tyou get there!" Jsmiled and said.
Then she lifted up her bag and made her ways to the elevator.
Meanwhile, Charis was standing on the higher level of the building, waiting for Ethan to complete his perusal of the financial
statement.
From her vantage point, she looked through the window and her eyes fell on a woman standing on the roadside.
Judging from the woman’s figure, she guessed that the woman was none other than Janet.
She seemed to be waiting for a taxi to pick her up.
Fiona had asked Charis to inform her immediately when she saw.
Jget in a car.
Charis’s phone was a luxury, smart phone sporting a high-definition camera.
Even at a distance, she could take remarkably clear photos of the cars on the road.
She clicked two pictures of the car when Jgot into it.
The license plate number and the appearance of the car were captured clearly in the photos.

Jfelt so fortunate that there weren’t too many people in the pizza restaurant tonight and she managed to get a table within
mere ten minutes.
Gerda joined her shortly after.
Jlearnt from her previous experience and decided against the idea of alcohol.
Instead, she just ordered juice.
By the tthey had eaten their fill, it was almost ten o’clock at night "Lind, where do you live? My place is up that
direction.Would you like to take a taxi with me?"
Gerda burped and asked.
“ I live near the company, in the opposite direction to your place."
With a smile, Jhailed a taxi and asked Gerda to get in it first.
"I will wait for the next one.Senda message when you arrive hsafely."
After sending Gerda off, Jgot on another taxi soon.
It was already late at night, but the streets were still bustling in the city.
Jfelt full and sleepy.She leaned against the car window and noticed the car was driving towards a bridge.
The river was glistening under the moonlight.
The bright, crescent moon was slowly rising higher into the sky.
Just when she was about to close her eyes for srest, something rather odd caught her eye.She opened her eyes wide and
saw an old, beat up truck headed directly towards them.
Before she had a moment to react, the truck hit them head on.
The taxi was knocked over the railing of the bridge, and the two vehicles fell into the river, stirring up a huge wave on impact with
