Upon hearing that, the man in black nodded in reply and hurried from the study. Meanwhile, in the Jackson residence, Janet sat cross-legged on the ground and her slender, fair fingers tapped on the keyboard, exuding a sense of anger. She exhaled slowly. I can’t believe it! They detained my books without any reason and now my fans have to wait for a few days!
She had tried to hack into the government website to find out who was behind Black Rain but she couldn’t find anything. Hmph! He was so arrogant and rude. I’m sure that he’s well hidden because he’s afraid of being retaliated against. Janet gritted her teeth and secretly vowed that if she found out who that man was, she would hit him hard in the head.
The next morning, all four members of The Beasts came to Janet’s house to pick her up. Now that Megan knew who they were, she didn’t stop them and was rest assured to let them hang out with Janet.
However, Emily scoffed when she saw them and whispered, “Tsk, birds of a feather do flock together! What a bunch of hillbillies!” When Janet saw Dexter and the others, she walked over to them. He had a croissant in hand and was holding it out to her. “Boss, this is for you!” Tyler also handed the coffee he was holding to Janet. “Boss, have some coffee!” Then, Luke proceeded to hand her a box of fruits. “Have some fruits, Boss!” Leo, on the other hand, didn’t have anything. The four of them looked at Janet with bright smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, Janet felt an instant chill down her spine. Rubbing her arms for warmth, she pouted and asked, “Why are you trying to please me? What agenda do you have?”
“None. We’re just concerned about you. Did you sleep well last night?” The Beasts asked as they looked at Janet in anticipation. She took a sip of coffee and as the taste of coffee hit her tongue, she instantly felt much better.
“What do you want?” she pressed. Looking embarrassed, the four of them scratched their heads and asked, “Boss, did you go to Leamore Lane last night?”
“Who told you that?” Janet asked with a blank expression.
“Desire told us. She came to our apartment last night!” They even had Desire describe the scene to them… It was absolutely amazing! After they heard the news from Desire, they were so excited to meet Janet that they woke up early the next day to pick her up. Upon hearing, Janet calmly replied, “Oh.”
Why is Boss talking like this? Are our intentions not obvious enough? We want to go with Boss too! The four of them lowered their heads in disappointment and said nothing.
“Oh!” Janet realized their intentions at a glance so she lured them in by saying, “You want to follow me to Lone City, don’t you?” Hearing this, the four of them nodded in excitement and replied, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“In your dreams!”
When The Beasts heard Janet’s cold reply, they felt as if they were splashed with a bucket of cold water. With that, she walked away joyfully while The Beasts watched her leave and sighed in disappointment. Boss is so biased; she lets Desire and Lara join every task!
Later on in Class F, as soon as Janet entered the classroom, she heard cries and howls of sadness. “Oh my goodness! My heart is shattered into a million pieces.”
“Me too. I waited for so long last night but I didn’t manage to buy Rose’s book.”
“Exactly! My boyfriend asked me to head out for a date last night but I refused him so that I could be near my computer to buy her book.”
“I wonder what happened to Rose. I can’t believe she delayed her book sales!”
“We can only wait. I hope that her book will be on sale tomorrow!”
Janet’s mouth twitched. She didn’t expect that there were so many supporters in her class. Should I be happy or worried? When Janet put her bag down, she suddenly felt that something was off. At that moment, the usually lively and joyful Abby was lying on the table like a wilted flower. “What’s wrong, girl?” Janet asked in concern.
Abby pouted her chubby face and replied, “I’m really upset!” She looked as if all the energy was depleted from her body.
“What happened?”
Abby wailed, “Rose’s book didn’t go on sale last night! I waited for so long!” As she spoke, she slammed her fist on the table in frustration and her reaction drew Gordon’s attention. Sitting behind her, he patted Abby’s shoulder and asked softly, “Do you want her book?”
