Now, Mason would probably think that she was J’Adore. This was supposed to be Janet’s identity. Lara couldn’t help but feel anxious at the thought of Mason thinking that she was J’Adore. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to explain the situation to Janet. Taking her phone out, she found Janet’s number and called her. The phone kept on ringing for a long time. Just when she was about to hang up and call again, the call was finally connected.
“What’s wrong, Lara?” A cold female voice was heard from the other side.
Lara slammed her palm on her thigh. “Something went wrong! Something went wrong!”
“Don’t panic and speak slowly!”
Lara recalled the earlier meeting with Mason. Her heart started pounding again at the memory and she felt guilty. Since the beginning, she knew she couldn’t fake Janet’s natural domineering and collected aura. However, looking at Mason’s reaction, she was sure that he didn’t notice anything wrong.
“I accidentally showed my face in front of him!”
Upon hearing her confession, Janet was speechless. “How did it happen?” Her expression stiffened slightly.
Helplessly, Lara began, “Everything went smoothly at first. But, just when I was about to walk toward the door of the conference room, someone came in suddenly, so I had to dodge away. And it just so happened that I hit my face on the wall and the face mask broke into half!”
Janet’s heart flinched. How could there be such a coincidence? Is it possible that the person who came in was arranged by Mason? If Mason really did that, was he trying to find out who was the one under the mask? Based on all his recent behaviors, he must be doubting me. After all, he confiscated my silver pistol.
People like him who held guns all year round would definitely notice that a silencer was installed in the pistol. Besides, she already used one of the bullets, so that was enough for him to suspect that she was the one who shot Baldy that night. Moreover, no one could give an explanation about the pistol.
Nonetheless, MX’s base in Sandfort City was already under construction. There was no need for her to hide her identity anymore. In fact, she had never intended to hide it from him. If he had asked, she would have told him anyway. Wait… Was he trying to ask me about that in the corridor of Woodsbury University a few days ago?
“Janet, are you listening?” Lara asked her when she noticed that Janet wasn’t responding.
Returning to her senses, Janet was silent for a moment then she smiled. “I’m listening!”
Lara paused for a second before she went on to express her opinion. “Janet, I think this the perfect opportunity to tell him that you’re J’Adore! If you don’t want him to intervene, I think he’ll respect your thoughts.”
Upon hearing that, Janet raised one of her brows and smiled. “Okay, I got it.” Everything was going in the right direction. Perhaps, I might be able to surprise him on his twenty-sixth birthday! It’s probably going to be more of a fright! However, after giving some thought to the idea, Janet knew his expression would be very entertaining.
After Janet figured things out, she slept very well. On the next day, she packed up her things and went downstairs with Lee. The pair ate something at the hotel before they waited for Matthew to pick them up.
When the clock stopped at 8:50 AM, a number of black Rolls Royce came to a halt in front of the five-star hotel. Matthew got out of the car and went into the lounge. His attitude was good and his tone was respectful. “We’re ready to leave now.”
