Chapter 648 - Struggling With Why I Am Doing This
Thursday
Jane Gang left her business office having dealt with the senior partner on the case. While she was always comfortable in her own s*xual activities having to cooperate with him and his demands always felt demeaning. Unlike Lu Jingho, he was a beast. He simply wanted his own s*xual gratification rather than it being a mutual experience.
The only benefit was that he was not looking too close at matters. He was getting his pleasure and accepting the recommendations of the case while believing he had control. The sooner that she could resolve the matter, get her revenge and leave the firm the better.
On sending Lu Jingho's driver home, she advised him that she would take a taxi to the care facility he had been taking her to and one home.
Sitting in the taxi on the trip there, Jane relaxed. Over time, Lu Jingho had stopped being concerned of the visits and had no problem with Jane making this trip when she wanted to.
She headed straight towards David's office and walked in David was engaged on the phone. Jane simply sat down on the couch waiting for him to finish. A few minutes later, David ended the call and said "Jane, you are a little worried. What is it?"
"You know me too well David. While I know in the end the case will end up in a jail erm for Lu Jingho, it is somewhat frustrating that I cannot achieve what I would for any other client, the best possible outcome. The problem is that he is the cause of his own downfall. He wants to think he is smarter than everyone else, but in trying to do this, he forgets that he deals with other people and they do not always do what he plans. Is son being a case in point."
"Lu Jinhu, that idiot. He always has been known for not being able to control himself, so why would you not be surprised that he is a problem. But that is not the real issue, is it?"
"David!" Jane squealed in surprise.
"As I have told you, I know you too well. It is not really work is it?"
"No. I feel like I am starting to sink a little. I need a reality check from you."
"Jane, I always told you that I would be here for you, but you have to remember I have constantly expressed my concerns about your path. What is troubling you?"
"Stop preaching at me …"
"I am not preaching, I just wanted to remind you of the concerns I have expressed since you told me what is happening. Remember a concerned shared is something to be more easily overcome. What is bothering you?"
Sighing Jane stood up and moved over to where she knew David had the alcohol hidden in his office and poured herself and David a whiskey each before heading back, handing him one glass and sitting down before taking a sip.
"Two things. One, I just will have to deal with is the addiction to the s*xual activity that he is giving me access to. That is something that I like, and when I make my move access to that will end."
"You will just have to do what you have done in the past. I do not like that but I respect your own choices in that respect. But you already know that. Come on, tell me the real issue?"
"Spoilsport, you know I like to make you feel guilty, and you are not giving me that opportunity."
"Come on, be serious with me. While I know you have some freedom to come here, in the end you have to be time conscious otherwise Lu Jingho will become suspicious."
Signing, Jane took another drink, and looked at David before saying "I know he will go to jail and trigger the get out clause for me. The question is when do I trigger it and what do I do with the money?"
"Personally, I believe you should use your get out clause quickly upon his jailing. What is happening there is not healthy for you in the long term. You also need to tell the absolute truth when you trigger it, because you need to be clear on your motives for him to understand he has been played and why. As to the money, use it to support people like Belinda, and tell him that as well. Make it clear that it was never about money for you, it was about causing him hurt like he did your family."
"True, I went into this knowing I did not want the money. Can you start on what is needed to that purpose for me?"
"I will. Now come on and have dinner before you head back. You need to relax and be happy before you go back to the place that is ultimately stressing you out."
