Mason wanted to be with Janet all the time.
He did not know that was the kind of person he was, but after being with her, he did not recognize himself anymore.
Picking up some braised eggplant, he put it in Janet’s bowl and murmured, “I want to go to school with you.”
If he were by her side, who would dare to bully her?
Upon hearing that, she choked and sent the eggplant she had just put in her mouth back out at him. “What nonsense is that?” She felt completely baffled on the inside as she was wiping his face.
“This isn’t nonsense.” He was not angry. While he let her wipe his face with her hand, he put it in a different way. “I want to go to your school.”
Looking at him in all seriousness, she narrowed her eyes but did not say a word.
At the side, Walter let out a dry cough and continued to eat his food.
He glanced at the man in front of him, then at Janet. He was now filled with regret. Looks like I don’t stand a chance here.
……..
Once they were done eating, they all went their separate ways.
Walter hurried back to the film set to continue shooting his scene while Janet and Mason went back to the villa together.
When they were in the car, Mason took out his phone and gave a few instructions.
On the other end of the call, the principal ended up falling out of his chair in shock.
He even failed to get his words out properly. “Young Master Mason, I… I… didn’t hear that wrong, did I?” Young Master Mason wants to come to my school?
“Cut the nonsense!” Mason snapped. “Say more and I will make you step down from your position.”
The incapability of this principal was the reason Janet had to suffer over and over again.
In fact, he wanted her to drop out of that school and be done with it. Why did she have to stay at that rotten place?
“No! No!” The principal was on edge. After gathering his thoughts for a few minutes, he said, “Young Master Mason, come to the school tomorrow. I’ll leave the dean’s position open for you. How does that sound?”
The dean’s job was rather easy. He just had to read over several report cards and hold meetings with the principal and teachers.
If Mason were to take that position, he did not have to lift a finger. All he had to do was take up the title.
When the phone call ended, Janet looked over at him but was unable to read his emotions. “Do you think I haven’t attracted enough attention yet?”
She was well-known at her school. If they were to meet at school every day, all sorts of rumors would start to spread.
“I won’t bother you.” He gently massaged her hand that was still not fully recovered yet.
As long as he got to see her whenever he wanted to, he was content.
The following day, Janet entered her classroom whilst listening to the uproar behind her.
“Janet, were you taken away by the police yesterday? Is everything okay?” The students in her class were extremely concerned.
They also heard that Emily was the one who made the report. But for someone as bad-natured as Emily, she deserved to get beaten up.
Janet nodded with a calm expression on her face. “Everything is fine.”
“Glad to hear that. Good for you.” Her classmates gave her a thumbs-up.
Abby, who was sitting at the side, had her lips pursed. “I was worried sick about you yesterday! Thankfully, Gordon told me you were fine.”
Janet reached up to caress her head. “Can you walk? Does it still hurt?”
A small smile slowly crept up on Abby’s face and her cheeks were bunched together. “Of course. The medicine you gave me was very effective! Where did you get it from? I’ll get it from you again if I need it next time.”
After applying it twice yesterday, she was able to get out of bed this morning.
Janet could not resist squeezing her round cheeks. “Then, we’ll talk about this when that time comes.”
Abby flaunted a smile on her blushed face.
While looking at her, a thought occurred to Janet. “Did Gordon take you home yesterday?”
Abby blinked at her then buried her face in her book. Janet is mean now. She’s even making fun of me. She nodded. “Mm.”
That made Janet smile. “Great.”
Their feelings for each other were mutual even though Gordon acted cold most of the time.
