Chapter 157 Stay at My Place

Nathaniel pulled a long face.

He thought, Janet doesn't even want to look at me?

As soon as Janet arrived downstairs, she saw Anastasia standing in the hotel lobby, waiting for Nathaniel.

Janet wanted to walk past Anastasia, but the latter deliberately stood in front of her, looking arrogant.

"You are cheeky enough to stick around."

"I should be the one saying this to you. Doesn't your face hurt?" Janet looked at Anastasia's red and swollen face, wanting to laugh.

After all, she slapped Anastasia hard last night.

'Janet!"

Anastasia gnashed her teeth in hatred, but the second she saw Nathaniel, her expression changed instantly.

"Nathaniel, I've been waiting for you downstairs for a long time. Let's go to the venue together."

Anastasia was about to hold Nathaniel's arm, but he dodged imperceptibly.

He glanced at Janet. Seeing that she was indifferent, he pursed his lips and asked Anastasia in a deep voice, "Why are you still here?" Anastasia's smile froze on her face, but she quickly collected herself and said coquettishly. "You've been working so hard. Of course, I'll stay with you."

After saying this, she got into Nathaniel's car naturally, certain that he wouldn't throw her out in front of so many people.

He frowned unhappily, but he didn't say anything, allowing her to do so silently.

Janet and Nathaniel arrived at the venue one after the other.

It wasn't big news. After all, the others had seen them before at the opening ceremony.

Yet Anastasia's appearance still caused quite a bit of an uproar.

Many people present knew what had happened at Nathaniel's wedding. Yesterday, everyone had been guessing whether Nathaniel and Janet might get back together. They were surprised to see him showing up with Anastasia today.

They thought, he managed to put up with it after what happened. It seems that he loves her indeed.

Therefore, the people present looked at them meaningfully, and someone even sized Anastasia up with an obscene look in their eyes. Anastasia felt disgusted, but she didn't dare to make a scene. She could only force herself to straighten her back and walk next to Nathaniel, looking like his wife.

After all the participants were seated, the organizer announced the competition rules.

"Thank you for coming to the bidding today. I would like to announce the competition rules now. First of all, the representatives of the enterprises participating in the competition need to explain their understanding of the competing software, their operation philosophy, and the following operation mode.

"The bidding will begin after all the representatives finish their elaboration. You may feel free to bid at any time during the bidding process, and the procedures will be the same as an auction, but It doesn't mean that the highest bidder will win. The software owners will be selected based on the presentation performance and the final bidding result."

After the organizer announced the rules, the representatives of competing companies began to get excited.

According to the order, the software introduced first was the product of the other companies that came to the Convention this time. Janet and Nathaniel were not interested, so they did not pay much attention to it.

Most of the competitors knew that they were not competitive against the Webster Group, so they accepted the truth and began to bid. Of course, there were a few who still wanted to give it a go.

After all, the organizer said that money wasn't the only decisive factor here. In other words, the highest bidder wasn't necessarily the

winner.

Janet sat down in the first row, and Nigel was beside her.

Seeing the faint dark circles under her eyes, Nigel frowned slightly. "You didn't sleep well last night?"

Of course, Janet would not tell him what had happened last night. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I was just having a little trouble sleeping."

"You are staying in a hotel. Of course, it cannot be as comfy as staying at home." Nigel was a little worried. Therefore, he solemnly proposed again, "Stay at my place."

His voice was neither too loud nor too low, but it was just enough for Nathaniel, who was not far away, to hear.
