I can’t let anymore people know about my identity as a divine doctor, or else there will be more trouble. Back then, when Markovia’s Traditional Medical Research Institute recognized my identity as a divine doctor, dozens of wealthy people across the world came to find me and some even paid a high price to ‘kidnap’ me to treat their illnesses.
Thinking about this, Janet couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you,” Mason chuckled as he tugged on his tie, purposely revealing the bite mark from last time.
“Protect me?” Janet laughed. “If people find out that I belong to you, you’ll be in great danger. After all, if your enemies want to hurt you, they can just capture me.”
With an eyebrow raised, Mason said, “There is probably no one who could capture you.” Including me!
Janet grinned and blinked innocently. “What do you mean? I don’t understand.”
Mason’s eyes darkened and he smirked. “You little fox.”
Janet is really sneaky. Who could ever catch her? Even I can’t figure her out.
Janet raised her brows and glanced at him. When her gaze fell on his collar, she teasingly asked, “Who are you trying to seduce?”
“The bite mark has not disappeared yet. Do you know how rough you were?”
Janet was speechless. Well, touché. The bite marks on my chest are as obvious as yours…
After breakfast, Janet went to the living room to rest. Unexpectedly, the black piano in the corner caught her eye. Janet walked up to it and as her gaze fell on the piano, there was a gleam in her eyes.
She pulled out the chair, sat down, and put her fingers on the piano keys.
Seeing this, Mason narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t stop her. Instead, he just quietly observed her from the side.
Janet was a natural at playing the piano, and so she started to play in a relaxed manner.
The busy servants paused when they heard the beautiful melody and turned to look at Janet play. The performance got more and more passionate and mesmerizing, and when the song reached the chorus, everybody forgot that they were supposed to be working and just watched Janet.
“Wow, that was beautiful!”
“What an amazing performance! I felt like I was in a dream. Only a professional can play the piano like that.”
“She might be even better than some of the famous singers in our country.”
“I agree. I personally think Miss Jackson plays the piano better than the famous singers.”
“I didn’t know Miss Jackson knew how to play the piano.”
“She’s smart and strong, and she can sing and dance. It’s hard to take my eyes off her.”
Smiling, Mason walked up to Janet, stood behind her, and squeezed her shoulders. With a deep voice, he asked, “I didn’t know that you played the piano.”
“Just the basics.” The music stopped and Janet slowly brushed the piano keys with her slender fingers like a professional pianist.
Just the basics?
Everyone pursed their lips. She played well without practicing beforehand, but she humbly said that she only knew the basics.
The servants glanced at each other speechlessly. Then, they got back to work.
Janet turned around and caressed Mason’s hand. “I only went out for one day. Where did the piano come from?”
Mason was still indulged in the melody, and it took a moment before he came back to his senses. “On the night of my birthday banquet, Magnus will ask his daughter to perform a song!”
Magnus said that there will be many upper-class people that night and that there should be some music to create a better atmosphere, so I didn’t refuse.
Daughter? Janet raised an eyebrow and clasped Mason’s hand. “Are you talking about Rebecca?”
Mason nodded and squeezed her soft shoulders. “Will you play the piano on the night of November 29th as a birthday present for me?”
It was obvious Janet was upset. She pretended to be unbothered, and with a blank expression, she said, “You already have someone to perform for you. I shouldn’t interrupt her performance.”
