At this moment, almost all of upper society had gathered in the banquet hall.
“Mommy.” Emily tugged at Megan’s arm. She frowned as she unhappily said, “Mommy, is Janet not going to come and witness one of the most memorable moments of my life?”
Megan smiled awkwardly. “I gave her a call. Unfortunately, she said she was too busy to attend. Besides, don’t you have me?”
“That’s right, Emily. We’re here for you too!” Rebecca and Chloe glanced at each other and smiled.
“Yeah! Thanks!” Emily perfunctorily replied. She didn’t feel like giving attention to them.
Then, jealousy flitted across Rebecca and Chloe’s eyes. Emily was very beautiful tonight. She was dressed in a blue evening dress adorned with crystals. She was dazzling and the curves of her figure were accentuated greatly. Thus, her phenomenal appearance completely overshadowed the other two. As girls, they, too, couldn’t help having a little bit of vanity. For that reason, they wished that they could turn heads and make people notice them too.
…….
On the other side, Mason had been clinging to Janet all day long, refusing to leave her side. He even moved his work computer into her room. Thus, she was feeling very frustrated. She couldn’t go anywhere, and it drove her so mad that she was tempted to murder him.
It wasn’t until Black Python came looking for Mason that the man finally left the Lowry Residence and headed to the company.
As soon as Janet got some time to herself, she asked the housekeeper of the Lowry Family to send her to the Leaping Dragon Hotel. The housekeeper was used to it as the Leaping Dragon Hotel was part of the Lowry Family’s assets. So, he didn’t find her request strange.
Not long after Janet got out of the car, she saw a man in a hat, who was in a hurry. Relying on her photographic memory, she immediately recognized the man with a single glance. “Roxy?” she softly called out.
When the man heard somebody calling his name, he glanced back. He was momentarily stunned before he could exclaim, “Master?!”
Then, she covered his mouth and cleared her throat lightly. “Why are you here?” she asked, walking leisurely with her hands in her pockets.
Speaking of this trip, Roxy complained endlessly, “There’s no way I can refuse an invitation from Hilbert and the Yobril Royal Academy of Music, right?! Moreover, we’re working in the same circles! So, I had to put down the work I had on hand. I rushed over the moment I got off the plane!”
“True!” She nodded faintly.
“Master, were you invited by Hilbert too?” he asked.
“Yup! As you said, it’s not easy to refuse people from the same circles!” She wiggled her brows at him, looking wickedly charming.
“Hahahaha! What a coincidence!” He chuckled.
Lifting her gaze, she eyed the top of his head for a moment. Then, she reached out, took the hat off the man’s head, and placed it on her own head.
He was taken aback before he broke out into a small smile.
Outside, the sky grew darker and darker. Conversely, the lights within the banquet hall grew brighter and brighter. Janet was wearing a light-colored pair of jeans as well as a white shirt. With the black hat on her head, she looked refreshing and pleasant. Besides, the hat concealed her forehead and her enchanting eyes. Thus, it made her look like an ordinary girl-next-door type of girl.
Roxy glanced at her retreating back and followed after her. “Master, the heir Hilbert found this time is not from our circles, right?”
“Yeah. What’s wrong?”
“I just find it strange. Why didn’t he find somebody from within our circles? Why did he choose an unknown high school student?”
She laughed upon hearing those words. “What do you mean? Are you saying that person doesn’t have the abilities? Or, are you saying Hilbert is a poor judge of ability?”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes looked amused. “I’m saying that Hilbert is a poor judge of ability!” His black eyes studied her delicate features and joked, “I can’t believe he didn’t ask you, Master! He has no eye for ability!”
Janet raised her brows at him. A considerably mischievous yet enchanting look danced in her eyes as she replied nonchalantly, “He did! I rejected the offer!”
What?! She rejected the offer?! Roxy was stunned. I can’t believe Master rejected the offer to become the heir to the Yobril Royal Academy of Music! No matter how you think about it, it’s still unbelievable! But, if I consider it carefully, Boss might really be uninterested in something like being the heir to the Yobril Royal Academy of Music.
