“I agree!”
“Yeah!”
“Me too!”
Dexter, Tyler, and Leo were all in agreement. Janet was rendered speechless. She found a lollipop that Abby had given her and put it in her mouth. She frowned slightly when the scent of the apple-flavored lollipop spread in her mouth in an instant. It’s delicious.
“Don’t do anything! You guys have to prepare for the college entrance exams and practice your martial arts. I’ll check your results personally when I’m free! If you fail, you’ll have to go back to Markovia!” As she was saying that, she caught a glimpse of a familiar car in the distance. Throwing the lollipop packaging into Dexter’s palm, she went emotionless as she said, “You guys go back first. I have something else to do.” Carrying her school bag, she walked nonchalantly to the car and opened the door.
“Oh, Mrs—oops! I mean, Miss Jackson!” Henry, who was sitting in the passenger seat, yelled from the inside.
Janet leaned over with her hands in her pocket; she looked inside the car and saw Sean, Henry, and Mason. “Why are you guys here?”
Getting out of the car, Sean opened the back door and respectfully said, “Mrs… Miss Jackson, please get in the car.”
Upon hearing that, Janet’s defined eyebrows quirked. After a moment of silence, she got into the car. Sucking the lollipop in her mouth, Janet glanced at the man beside her and faintly said, “Where are we going?”
As she was saying that, the sweet, refreshing apple scent came out from her mouth. It made Mason want to take a bite. The man stared straight at her red lips.
In the end, Henry was the first to break the silence. “Janet, didn’t you know? The performance that Moss Group invested in—‘Heaven on Earth’—was doomed! It seemed like the Hunters were the ones who caused it.”
With that said, Henry didn’t forget to pound his chest. “My heart aches so much!”
Twitching her brow, Janet parted her lips and said slowly, “Oh! Then, what are you going to do now?” She turned her head to the side; all her breath was spread on Mason’s face, making his heart itch.
When Henry heard Janet’s mindless tone, he was infuriated. Gritting his teeth, he continued, “I heard that the Hunter Group has their eyes on a piece of land. They’re preparing to use it to start a branch. I’m also interested in that piece of land!”
“Forget it!” Leaning in the back seat, Mason exposed Henry’s thoughts ruthlessly. He wasn’t interested in that land; he was interested in the Hunter Group.
“Haha!” Janet let out a soft chuckle. That would be interesting! Now, not only Lee would try to snatch the land—even the Moss Family is interested too. It seemed like the Hunter Group would be spending a lot of money today. Tsk, tsk. How pitiful.
When Janet was done with the lollipop, she took a bottle of water from the car and drank it. The car happened to reach a corner and her water splashed on a small part of her leg. Seeing this, Mason quickly passed her the water in his hand. His face suddenly approached hers; both of them were very close to each other.
Janet’s heart was pounding all of a sudden. She was slightly confused. What actually was their relationship?
“Why are you nervous?” His deep and inviting voice sounded out; teasing evident in his laugh. He was obviously satisfied with her reaction. Even though Janet wasn’t originally that nervous, at that moment, she became even more flustered.
Is he trying to tease me? How can I accept that? And so, Janet leaned her body over with both hands on either side of Mason’s waist. The corners of her lips curled and her brows looked wicked. “Are you nervous?” As she was saying that, her warm breath sprayed deliberately on his handsome face. She did that because she knew how Mason felt about her. If he could hold himself back, she would greatly admire him.
The two of them were in an intimate position; the temperature was rising. Something behind Mason’s eyes darkened as he stared into Janet’s alluring phoenix eyes. He swallowed, and with a husky voice, he said, “Are you seducing me?”
Knowing that he would lose control soon, Janet laughed, “You deserve it!”
Mason narrowed his eyes when he glared at her captivating eyes. Just when Janet was about to leave Mason’s side, he pushed her into the seat all of a sudden. After struggling for a while, Janet found that she couldn’t escape from his grip.
