Honestly, Sean was actually hoping that the girl would be Janet. After all, it was only then that the relationship between her and Mason would be of equal status.
Mason pursed his lips. Taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case, he went on to light it up. Now that we know that the girl isn’t Janet, why did Janet take the day off? Where did she go? All of a sudden, Mason panicked. It took me a day to clarify my doubts, yet I haven’t even called to ask babe what she is doing with the leave of absence! I was careless! Ashing his cigarette, he quickly called her.
Janet, who was far away in the five-star hotel in Yobril, just came out from the shower. When she took her phone out and was about to video call Mason, his video call request popped up.
The night breeze blew into the room through the window. The temperature was cool. As Janet stared at Mason’s face, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve upward subconsciously.
Mason spoke in a hoarse voice. “I heard from Black Python that you took the day off. Where did you go?” He stared at her with calm and affectionate eyes.
Biting her pink lips, she said coldly, “I just arrived in Yobril. I’m in a hotel now.”
“Yobril?” Mason paused for a moment and he went on, “Why did you go there? Are your friends with you?”
“I’m here to visit a patient.” Janet smirked and lifted one of her eyebrows, looking wicked. “Take a guess.”
Upon hearing her mischievous tone, Mason narrowed his eyes and he sounded dangerous. “Male or female?”
The tip of Janet’s heart trembled at his question. Then, she stared at him with an incomprehensible gaze. “What do you think?” It was obvious she was teasing him, trying to make him jealous. Although Mason knew her intention, he still fell into her trap.
With slightly narrowed eyes, he grabbed his phone, straightened his back, and calmed down his breath. “With whom?” He wanted to pinch her pink cheeks as he stared at her through the screen. The thought of that almost made him crazy.
“Lee,” she whispered.
Mason’s lips tightened at her words. He knew Lee and he had seen his name many times on Janet’s phone whenever he called. Nevertheless, he didn’t expect Janet to visit Yobril with him! Although he felt sour in his heart, he managed to suppress the dissatisfaction; his voice turned stony. “Okay. You should rest first!”
After he said that, Janet let out a muted laugh. “Why are you jealous? We aren’t living in the same room anyway.”
Immediately, Mason stiffened and he said, “I’m not jealous!”
At that moment, Janet was entertained by the show he put on. Deliberately, she said, “Fine. I’m going to bed now.”
Subconsciously, Mason was mumbling something. “Little devil,” he muttered. He wanted to hold her in his arms and rub her into his bones just looking at her. ‘Devil’ was indeed the best term to describe her.
Janet’s throat went dry and her heart hammered against her chest. For a while, she didn’t know what to say. After a long silence, she licked her lips and teased him, “You’re indeed the king of jealousy!”
On the other hand, the girl, who wore the face mask, left in her car as soon as she came out of the Lowry Family Conglomerate’s building. Along the way, her heart couldn’t stop pounding. God damn it. The quality of the mask is too bad! How could it break apart with just a slight bump? I should have been the one that broke apart at that moment! Why did Mason ask such a weird question and said he wanted to help? She knew she nearly revealed her identity. Nonetheless, it was lucky that she managed to seek help from Janet when she went to the bathroom as an excuse.
Sure enough, Janet’s answer was a ‘no’. Nonetheless, the girl originally thought she would be able to get away without leaving behind a trace. Yet, she didn’t expect to hit the wall and break the mask. Mason has already seen my face!
