Raising his brows, Mason continued to tease, “And?”
Janet paused for a moment. Then, as if she was hurt by his words, she sounded soft. “And I feel insecure.” Her voice was soft and light. It was as if every word she said had touched the most sensitive and vulnerable part of Mason’s heart.
Narrowing his eyes, Mason went silent for a while before he said triumphantly, “Come out. I’m outside.”
Upon hearing that, Janet was speechless. What? What does he mean by that? He’s been here the whole time but he was just waiting for me to surrender? How I wish I could bite him! But, it does seem pretty sweet…
Hanging up the phone, Janet regained her composure. Then, she told Sharon and Summer, “Something happened at home. I have to go back first!”
The pair were startled for a few seconds and they nodded with a knowing expression. “Okay. Be careful on your way back.”
Janet bobbed her head in response and walked toward the university’s gate. Before she could walk out the gate, she already saw Mason’s car waiting in the distance. Instantly, she sped up her pace. Suddenly, a boy from the university rushed toward her. With his face flushing, he panted and said, “Janet, can I add you on Messenger?”
Janet glanced at the boy and found that his cheeks were blushing even more. Silent for a moment, she took her phone out. “Sure. You can scan my QR code.”
Mason, who was sitting in the car, instantly saw what happened. His expression changed and he sat up straight.
When Janet showed the boy her QR code, she suddenly sensed an imposing gaze coming from afar. She looked at the car. Sure enough, it was Mason. It was obvious from his expression and posture that he was extremely agitated and restless.
Her phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. Then, she turned around and looked at the boy in front of her. Taking her phone back, she said coldly, “I’m sorry, but I have a boyfriend.”
The boy was dumbstruck. Staring at Janet’s back, he looked disappointed. What the h*ll! Janet has a boyfriend? How surprising! Now, how many boys are going to be heartbroken again?
As soon as Janet stopped in front of the car, she saw a third wheel who was sitting in the passenger seat. With respect, Sean greeted, “Miss Jackson!” Janet nodded in response.
Sean didn’t want to recall how embarrassing the atmosphere in the car was earlier. He had witnessed Janet being hit on by someone else along with Mason. The key point was that Janet really handed her phone to that boy. They looked like they were adding each other on Messenger. In the next instant, Mason’s expression changed. It was only then he realized that working as Mason’s assistant was a very frightening experience.
Shivering, he said, “Young Master Mason, should I buy something for Miss Jackson to eat?”
Mason was silent for a few seconds before he nodded.
Yet, Janet was rendered speechless. Eat? I’m not hungry at all! Still, she opened the car door and got inside. Before she could gain a foothold, she was unexpectedly pulled into Mason’s embrace. Frustrated, she glared at him. Ducking her head, she bit on his arm lightly. The urge to bite him earlier was quickly satisfied when Mason approached her on his own.
Unbeknownst to her, Mason’s gaze turned even darker. Instead of pulling his arm back, he slipped his hand further into her clothes when she was distracted. “I find it more comfortable if you were to bite somewhere else.”
Upon hearing that, Janet blushed and smashed her school bag on his face. However, Mason managed to avoid the bag and pressed her further into the soft seat of the car.
“Scoundrel!”
Pressing his thin lips on her pink ones, he whispered, “Don’t you know? I can never act like a gentleman in front of you.”
