The man squeezed Janet’s small hands and dotingly said, “Sleep for a bit. I’ll wake you up later.”
Janet indifferently made a non-committal grunt in reply and leaned into the man’s arms. Her small hands naughtily groped his waist as she teased, “How nice. Your muscles have gotten much firmer.”
He pursed his lips without saying anything. Then, he took her hands and moved them to his private parts. “If you continue being cheeky, I’ll give you a taste of something else that is firmer than my muscles.”
She said nothing and immediately moved aside, pushing the man away from her.
At that moment, the phone in her pocket rang suddenly. She took it out and saw that Lee was calling her.
Lee’s gentle and deep voice came from the other side of the phone. “Somebody is looking for you.”
“I’m busy!” The girl’s voice was cold and distant. I’m having a competition this afternoon. Where will I find the time to run around?
Lee said, “I accepted the job on your behalf. It’s a 100 million appearance fee!” After saying that, he couldn’t help snickering.
She was rendered speechless. 100 million… If I can’t go, I’ll have to pay a compensation of 1 billion for breach of contract! What is Lee trying to do to me?! She became anxious. “Lee, do you want to get fired?!”
“Janet, why are you getting so anxious?” Lee could tell that he had angered her. Thus, he hurriedly explained, “The person who issued this job is Sheldon Fuller. He wants you to appear at the grand theatre before the finals today.”
“It’s that simple?” She relaxed slightly after hearing that.
Lee replied, “Yup, it’s that simple. Isn’t 100 million worth it?”
“Okay. I got it.” After saying that, Janet immediately hung up. Even without this job, I already planned to reveal my identity anyway.
The man sitting next to her turned and looked at her before asking, “What’s up? Where are you going?”
She raised her eyebrows at him and casually replied, “I’m not going anywhere.”
When he heard her reply, he snatched her phone away, pressed her head against his shoulder, and softly said, “Then, go to sleep.”
“Okay.” After saying that, she really closed her eyes.
The man held her small phone in his hands and silently mulled over something for several seconds. In the end, he turned on her phone and secretly went through her contacts. He switched out all the intimate nicknames in her contacts. The name ‘Mason’ was also changed to ‘Official Boyfriend’. He looked at the new title in satisfaction, the corners of his mouth curving into an idiotically blissful expression.
At the same time, Emily and Megan were at a stalemate inside the room. Emily was desperately grabbing Megan’s hand and pleading with her. “Mommy, don’t go to Janet. I’m sure she won’t do it again.” If Megan goes to Janet right now, she will surely drag me down with her. That won’t be beneficial to us.
“Emily, you know my character. I will never condone something like plagiarism.” Megan was so furious that her face was blue. Why are both my daughters like this?! Didn’t Janet learn anything from Emily’s mistake back then?! Our relatives talked about the incident where Emily plagiarized Janet’s drawings for more than half a year! It wasn’t until Emily went to study abroad that they gradually forgot about it! I wasn’t really bothered by it at the time but now, the one doing the plagiarizing is my biological daughter! I can’t tolerate such behavior!
Emily bit her lip and said aggrievedly, “If she is still performing a plagiarized piece in the next round, then I will expose her identity on the spot.” She spoke angrily, acting as if it were true.
Taking a deep breath, Megan finally compromised and said, “Okay.” I’m utterly disappointed with Janet.
