Chapter 285: A Good FriendNow that Laney becGarrett’s secretary, she got to see Joften.Today, she invited Jout to dinner.
"Thank you for recommendingfor this job," Laney said as she handed the menu over to Janet.
"This one’s going to be my treat!"
Although Jhadn’t really done much, Laney never liked owing favors to arryone.
Jwaved her hand and smiled.
"It’s nothing, Miss Garcia.You’re the one who saved my life.I don’t even know how to thank you properly for that."
"You don’t need to be so formal with me.We are friends now.Please just callLane.It’s what all my buddies back at the club
call me."
A wistful smile played on Laney’s lips.
Jleaned forward, curious as a cat.
"A club? What kind of club is it?".
Laney stopped short.She had blurted out the words without thinking, "Well... You know, just a hobby club."
She cleared her throat and took a sip of water.
"How about you, where are you residing at the moment?"
"Down at Ester Street."
"That’s quite a distance from work.How about I help you find a place near Larson Group?" Joffered.
"The closer you live, the more convenient it is in terms of commute.Actually, I live in a pretty good neighborhood, with lots of
affordable apartments.Would you liketo make an inquiry for an available unit?"
The opportunity was too good to pass up, and it would certainly be easier for Laney to protect Jif they lived close to each
other.
"That’s great! Please do, and thank you."
Thrilled, Jwasted no tand immediately called up the real estate agent.
Soon enough, Ethan was notified of her request.It was only a matter of course, since half of the properties in the neighborhood
was owned by the Larson Group.
Eventually, the women found a single-bedroom apartment.It was cheaper than most units in the area, despite it being fully-
furnished
Since Laney’s move, the two often traveled to and from work together.
"You’re such a kind and generous person, Janet," Laney remarked one day.
"You must have a lot of friends." But Jshook her head in response.
"Not at all.I never really had friends even when I was a child." Since primary school up to her university days, no one had dared
to befriend her for fear of incurring Jocelyn’s wrath.
"Well, then," Laney said emphatically.
"I’ll be your good friend from now on."
No matter how they had cto know each other, it was clear that Jand Laney had the swavelength and got along
really well.

It cto Charis’ attention that another woman had been hanging around Jrecently. It didn’t take long for her to look into
the woman’s identity.
"Laney Garcia?" she read the report, frowning.
Charis sensed that Laney was not the typical office worker.
She might be petite, but she had quick reflexes and was rather nimble on her feet, and anyone with a sharp eye would recognize
the faint traces of scars on her arms and shins.
This woman was obviously a fighter.
Charis was instantly suspicious of Laney’s sudden appearance in the company, and ordered her men to investigate her
background.
