Janet was speechless.
Just then, Black Python walked in with a first aid kit in his hand.
He bowed and said, “Young Master Mason, the people at the infirmary want us to return this as soon as we’re done with it.”
“I got it,” he replied while his hands busily searched through the first aid kit.
He poured some ointment on a cotton bud and instructed, “Lift your hand.”
Meanwhile, Janet kept her eyes fixed on his bony fingers. For a brief moment, she felt his breath falling on the top of her head.
It was warm.
Surprisingly, she obediently opened her hand and let him apply the medicine.
He moved gently, and both his movements and eyes were filled with tender love.
“Are you done?” she asked in a soft voice.
“Almost. Just a minute.”
In less than two minutes and with his first-aid skills, her hand was bandaged up.
“You don’t have to remove it until it’s all recovered,” he mumbled with a slight wariness in his voice.
To Janet’s understanding, it was precautionary advice.
Instead of replying to him, she put her hand on his shoulders and jumped off the table.
“Thanks. I should get back to class now.” She lifted her bandaged hand, neither hating it nor loving it.
“Okay, go on.” Mason was putting everything back in the first aid kit. Before Janet left, however, he teased in a deep voice, “No matter how strong you are, there will always be times when you’d have to submit to me.”
She froze in place. A few seconds later, her face turned a bright red as she lifted her foot and stepped on him.
Through gritted teeth, she said, “Hooligan.”
I’m never coming to this office again.
When she left, Mason patted his flushed face. That was embarrassing.
Watching her storm off, his lips curled up slightly. It was only in those moments when he could win over her.
Red Python, Black Python, and Sean exchanged glances with each other then smiled in gratification.
Miss Jackson and Young Master Mason have such a good relationship.
…
In mid-April, the sun was shining brightly and everyone was dressed in uniform.
Occasionally, there were a few students who wore skirts in an attempt to gain attention.
The music that was being blasted on the school field was reaching its climax once again.
It was their weekly exercise session.
Sometimes, Mason would take time off during work hours to sneak up on her. He stood at the highest peak where there was a complete view of the field.
He only saw Janet waving her arms around, but she had a look of indifference on her face.
Ten minutes later, the woman on the big screen stopped moving and the music also came to an end, indicating that their exercise session was over.
The physical education teacher said into the microphone, “Dismissed.”
Thus, the students started to leave while chatting away noisily.
Suddenly, the large screen on the field lit up again, but this time, the display shocked everyone.
On the upper part of the large screen was a cold and uncaring girl.
All they saw was the sullen gaze in which she used to look at the other girl in front of her. Lifting her hand, she hit the other girl who was of similar age to her.
Of course, the girl who was being hit was Emily.
In the next frame, it showed Janet and a few other people huddled together.
The girl who was being beaten up in that scene was the former school beauty, Jennifer Lewis.
The footage had clearly come from a surveillance camera.
At the end of the video, there were even large words typed onto the screen that said: ‘Janet Jackson’.
………
Mason was also stunned for a moment before he started pacing back to the dean’s office and ordered, “Take down that video now.”
For a few seconds, Sean was puzzled.
But when he heard the urgency in Mason’s voice, he figured that something big must have happened.
He could only do as he was told for the time being.
After quickly turning his computer on, he was able to take down the video being played on the screen in less than a minute.
