With that, he looked at Janet, silently pleading for help. Janet, please get them away from me!
Understanding his imploring gaze, Janet smiled before she coughed and asked in a flat tone, “Do all of you want it too?”
Everyone’s attention diverted from Gordan to Janet and they nodded firmly. “Of course!”
“Alright, I’ll ask my friend to buy it,” said Janet calmly.
“Are you serious?” They couldn’t believe their ears. “Janet, I want it. I want it!” Regardless if it was true or not, they just signed up for it.
“Just come over and write down your name.” After pondering, Janet added, “I’ll ask my friend to buy it in bulk so that it’ll be cheaper.”
“Awesome! Count me in.”
“No, I said it first. Get back in line!”
At once, everyone left Gordon alone and gathered around Janet instead. Although she didn’t care for this small amount of money, she couldn’t give them for free either. Otherwise, everyone would start to wonder how she got these books.
In Class A, their topic of conversation was all about Rose’s book, accompanied by wails and howls. Some even had tears running down their faces. “I didn’t manage to get Rose’s book. As her loyal fan, I’m such a failure!”
“Sigh. Us too! Those fans must have gone crazy last night. Even with my nimble hand and lightning speed due to being single for 18 years, I still didn’t manage to get it. How disappointing!”
“I won’t give up. I must buy one no matter how much it costs!”
“Sigh. What’s the point? You can’t even get one now so no one will sell it to you no matter how much you offer to pay for it.”
As they talked about it, everyone started to sigh sadly. Right at that moment, someone screamed, “Ah! Does anyone of you want Rose’s book?!”
“Me! I want it!” everyone turned around and shouted.
Excitedly, that person rushed over and said, “When I went to Class F to meet my friend, they were putting down their names because Janet offered to buy the books for them!”
“Janet? She’s going to buy it?” The students in Class A widened their eyes in disbelief.
However, that person shook his head and replied excitedly, “I’m not sure either but I’ve asked my friend to sign me up too!”
“But Janet is from Class F. Isn’t it weird if we sign up to get it from her?” someone chimed in.
“Who cares? As long as I can get Rose’s book, I’m willing to do anything.”
After that, a large group of students swarmed to Class F. Emily stared at their backs in disdain. These are the betrayers of Class A!
Since Emily didn’t go, Madelaine restrained herself from going too. Although she loved Rose, she would never submit to Janet. “How pathetic is Janet? She’s just trying to get the students from Class A on her side.”
“Hmph! Seeking the limelight is all she thinks of everyday instead of studying.” Emily snorted. She really looked down upon Janet from the bottom of her heart.
Meanwhile, Class F was hemmed in by the students from Class A. Through the window, they called Janet and requested with a smile, “Janet, can you buy me a book too?”
When Janet looked up and saw those familiar faces, she pursed her lips and said without any expression, “Let me check if there’s any space left on the name list.”
The students outside the window waited in excitement. They were overjoyed since Janet was still willing to buy the book for them even though they had old grudges. However, their happiness was shattered the next second.
“It’s full,” Janet said calmly after pretending to check the name list.
“What?” Everyone looked shocked. How could it be full all of a sudden?
“Can you please try to buy a few more? Please.”
“Exactly. Can you please help us?” everyone implored.
This time, Janet didn’t even give them a reply nor did she look at them. Seeing that, the students from Class A who stood outside the window had no choice but to give up and return to their classroom in great disappointment.
“How is it possible that it suddenly becomes full when we got there?”
“Could it be that Janet didn’t want to help us in the first place?”
“I think that she’s just pretending! She’s probably trying to impress the others by promising to do something beyond her means.”
