Janet raised her brows and ruthlessly rejected him. ‘No.’
After being rejected over the phone, Mason suddenly felt an urge inside him to drag her away himself and wrote. ‘I’m already in front of your house gate.’
He probably meant, If you don’t come out, I’ll head inside and look for you myself.
Instantly, she was rendered speechless.
She bit her fingers and packed her things before heading out the window.
Sure enough, she saw his car downstairs—and it was as eye-catching as ever.
After opening the car door, she went inside and glared at the man. “Can you please not simply show up in front of my house next time?”
He gazed at her with his black eyes before answering her seriously, “Will you want to meet me if I miss you?”
Janet was rendered speechless again.
“L-Let’s see.” Her soft voice rang in Mason’s ears.
After that, he brought her to a restaurant where the waitress enthusiastically led them to a private room.
“I want a Kobe steak, foie gras, black truffles, a king crab and a braised eggplant,” he ordered from the menu before allowing Janet to order for herself.
She glanced at the list of dishes that he ordered and realized that they were all her favourites.
“I’m fine. I don’t want to waste any food.” She waved her hands—a gesture that she didn’t want to order.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Janet took out her phone from her bag, but she then realized that she had accidentally brought her drawings along with her.
Mason had been looking at her the whole time, so he naturally noticed the drawings in her bag.
“You paint too?” He seemed to have discovered the young girl’s talent.
“Yes.” She nodded.
The painting showed a lifelike garden, as if the person was standing there by merely looking at it.
“You drew this?” Even though his eyes were emotionless, his heart was indeed in shock. It’s really beautiful.
“Yes. I simply paint it because I only learned some basic techniques!”
Mason smiled, This young lady is really brilliant and humble.
Then, his lips curled upward and he said calmly, “It’s beautiful, like you.”
Janet raised her eyes and blinked. It’s beautiful, like me?
In that instant, her face immediately flushed.
The evil charm in the man’s blossom-like eyes became even more seductive and profound. My young girl is now shy.
The next day in Star High School, the main topic of the day was undoubtedly Janet’s victory in the math competition.
“She really has a few tricks up her sleeve. I’m starting to admire her a little.”
“Me too. I felt so excited yesterday while watching the competition live on the television!”
“I thought that Emily was going to win the competition yesterday!”
“Emily, do you think the competition was difficult?” Madelaine held Emily’s arm and asked her.
Emily slightly curled the corners of her lips upward. “It’s fine. I didn’t use my full strength.”
“I knew it. If you use your full strength, you will definitely do better than Janet.”
Secretly, Janet stared at her. She only knows how to kiss up to me.
…
Abby held onto Janet’s arm while Gordon followed them from behind.
She rubbed Janet’s arm, saying, “Janet, you are so brilliant. I really envy you!”
At the same time, he also smiled. “Janet is definitely the best.”
However, Janet stared at him. “Stop sucking up to me!”
“Janet, did you see how green Emily’s face was that day? She even went around explaining to everyone that she allowed you to win the competition! Otherwise, she would be the champion,” Abby said angrily. “I can see that she is just talking nonsense.”
Janet raised her brows. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Emily today. If I see her later, I’ll definitely be happy for the whole day.
In the evening after school, Megan came to collect Emily and Janet because she had a meeting with Old Mr. Collins this evening. As a result, Megan wanted to bring Janet along to meet him.
“Janet, you can follow us. It won’t take up much of your time,” Megan said.
