Janet raised her eyebrows and didn’t make any comments.
“Just give me that. Anyway, the Lowry Family has our toes in the stone-gambling industry as well.” Mason took the rock from Janet while adding in a low voice, “I’ll ask Sean to transfer the money to you when we get back.”
Stunned for a second, Janet asked in perplexity, “When did the Lowry Family enter the stone-gambling industry?”
Why hadn’t she heard about that before?
Pulling a long face, Henry replied, “Miss Janet, since you love stone-gambling, Young Master Moss thinks that you’ll be bored after you marry into the Lowry Family if they don’t enter the stone-gambling industry.”
“Who says that I’ll be marrying into the Lawry Family? I dare you to say that again!” Janet shot daggers at Henry.
Henry just loved to talk nonsense. Sooner or later, she would sew his lips up.
Looking at Janet’s fierce face, Henry quickly waved his hands. “My mistake, my mistake.”
Speechless at Henry, Janet turned and said to Mason, “You don’t need to pay me 500 million. Since you’re my friend, I’ll offer you 499,990,000. Please transfer it to my card.”
Upon hearing that, Mason smiled affectionately.
She was such a playful girl.
After Mason and Henry settled their work, it was almost 9 p.m. In the car, Janet waited for more than half an hour before both of them finally appeared.
She then rubbed her eyes and yawned.
Bending over, Mason asked in a deep, sexy voice, “Getting sleepy?”
“Yeah.” Janet nodded without showing any expression. It was only natural that she was sleepy now because she had been straining her eyes inspecting the red jade earlier.
“Just rest now. I’ll wake you up when we reach Jackson residence.”
Janet nodded.
However, Henry had been talking non-stop ever since he got in the car. “Miss Janet, how did you pick out the red jade just now?” This question had been lingering in Henry’s mind. How did she distinguish the red jade when the shop owner couldn’t even do that?
Remaining her silence, Janet didn’t reply to him as if she was asleep.
Henry had to keep his eyes on the road so he couldn’t turn to look at Janet, who was in the back seat. Therefore, he called again, “Miss Janet.”
Awakened by him, Janet grabbed the tissue box in the back seat and threw it at him.
Coincidentally, it hit right on Henry’s head even though she had thrown it with her eyes closed.
Henry was dumbfounded. That was too accurate!
“I just thought that the black stone looked extraordinary. Anyway, no one, including the shop owner, can see through what’s inside of it so I just took a bet. It can’t be helped if luck is on my side,” Janet replied indolently.
Henry widened his eyes. “Is that it?”
He was totally lost for words. His family had been in the jade business for years but this was the first time he had heard about this jade-picking method.
Embarrassed, he chuckled and exclaimed, “You are truly lucky, Miss Janet!”
After that, no one made a sound anymore.
It was extremely quiet in the car. Turning to look at Janet, who was asleep, Mason saw her eyelids trembling like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, the sight of which caused his heart to race.
Ever since that kiss, he couldn’t forget that feeling and taste.
It was sweet and tender.
Under the flickering light, he couldn’t help but bow his head.
The moment their lips touched, Janet opened her eyes, allowing her innocent yet wise eyes to meet his eyes that were filled with affection and desire.
