I was just trying to be petulant so that Babe will comfort me, but she ended up saying things like that.
Hearing that, Janet lifted the corner of her mouth. Then, looking at the man’s pitiful expression, she put her arms around his neck and arched her eyebrows. “That friend of mine is not as handsome as you and not as petulant as you!” She paused and plucked up the courage to say, “I only have eyes for you.”
As she spoke, her warm breath lingered on Mason’s neck. The man’s eyes dimmed, and he asked in a seductive low voice, “Really?”
“Yeah!” Janet’s face reddened while Mason instantly became happy. Next, he held her down on the desk and kissed her. In the process, Janet was tickled so much that she kept trying to avoid his attacks, but the corners of her mouth were still lifted. It seems that there are many advantages to reading novels. At least I’ve learned how to deal with Mason.
“All right, all right!” Janet gasped and begged for mercy. “Don’t kiss me anymore!”
“Then tell me, why did you go to the Leaping Dragon Hotel with another man?” Mason slightly exhaled warm air on her and continued the interrogation.
Janet tugged the corners of her mouth before replying, “The protagonist of the banquet was the second Young Miss of the Jackson Family, and that guy was invited by Mr. Hilbert too. As we happened to meet at the door, we went in together!” If this reason is not convincing enough, I’ll really bite him straightaway!
“Well, I suppose that makes sense.” Mason was amused by her reaction. The way she pouted and hurried to explain was so cute. He couldn’t help but want to tease her and see her flustered and confused look.
“You did that on purpose!” Janet looked at his expression and realized that she had been tricked, which caused her face to turn red with anger. At that, the man’s eyebrows raised up in a sexy fashion. He took out a bag of candies from inside the desk cabinet and put it on the table. “Eat some candies! You’ll be in a good mood that way!”
Janet looked down and saw that it was her favorite brand. She reluctantly took it over and then unwrapped it. “Don’t eat too many of them, as I’ll make some snacks for you later.”
Janet raised her eyebrows, then nodded obediently. Unwrapping a candy, she put it to his mouth and said, “Here, one for you.”
Mason froze at the action before he lowered his eyes and looked at the slender hand near him. Then, his gaze dimmed for a second before he opened his mouth. His breathing briefly stuttered when his soft, thin lips accidentally touched the girl’s fingertips.
Afterward, Janet nodded and then complimented the good taste of the candy. She had just finished speaking when the phone beside her rang. As soon as she saw it was Lara calling, she picked it up.
“Janet, your sister is quite good at causing trouble and being audacious, huh?” Lara had seen today’s Twitter, and she had clicked on the video to listen to the music, only to realize that the music actually belonged to Janet. How did it become Miss Fake B*tch’s original? Thus, she was annoyed and bought out some haters to spread hate about Miss Fake B*tch on the internet. As a result, Miss Fake B*tch bought out the Twitter hot searches again and suppressed the hate. She was quite powerful!
“Don’t make trouble!” Janet’s tone was light and quite indifferent.
“I just couldn’t stand it, so I hired some people to spread hate about her. I didn’t do anything over the line though.” Lara was both upset and angry.
Janet was silent for a few seconds, and her tone was bland when she finally said, “So, why did you call me?” She knew that Lara would not call her if the latter only wanted to talk about Emily, and there must be other matters of interest.
“Someone from Yobril is looking for you. I heard that they wish for you to help heal someone.”
“What kind of illness?” Janet spoke directly in front of Mason. Since he knew she was a doctor, she didn’t need to hide it.
“Motor neuron disease.”
At that, Janet was silent for an instant, and then she asked coldly, “How many years has it been affecting the patient?”
“It’s quite recent. About one or two years.”
“Tell them that I can’t take this case,” Janet rejected.
Motor neuron disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, was a disease that was incurable. Lara hesitated for a moment before saying cautiously, “But he is…”
Before Lara could finish, Janet added, “This disease cannot be cured, so no doctor can help them.”
No matter who that person was, she couldn’t help them, so rather than giving them hope followed by despair, it was better for her to reject them upfront in such a ruthless manner.
“Okay, I’ll go and reject them then.”
On a hospital bed somewhere in Yobril lay an old man. As the light was dim, nobody could see his face clearly.
