After all, Janet did not usually look better than her.
“I-It’s… quite nice,” Rebecca and Chloe responded dully, looking somewhat jealous.
Seeing the flabbergasted look on them, Emily could not help but feel delighted as the two stared at her with eyes that were overflowing with jealousy.
Then, Emily proceeded to say, “Rebecca, thanks for this.” As she spoke, she went back to her room to change out of the dress, having decided to save this dress for her meet up with Hilbert after the exams.
………
In Lowry Family’s luxurious mansion, Janet was sitting on the couch while popping the grapes on her plate into her mouth, one after another.
Meanwhile, she was playing a game on her phone that was in her other hand. She looked cheerful and carefree.
Today, Mason had already gone to the office early in the morning as Saturday was the day he had to catch up on all the work that he had missed from Monday to Friday.
On the other hand, Black Python and Red Python stayed home at the Lowry residence to look after Janet.
The sight of the two persons on each of her side annoyed her and she asked unemotionally, “Why aren’t you sitting?”
Black Python and Red Python gave each other a look and answered in reverence, “We’re used to standing.”
After being in the Lowry residence for so many years, they knew well that it was an unspoken rule to not sit with the owner.
As such, Janet shrugged when she could not convince them to take a seat.
“Miss Jackson, don’t you need to study? I hear that the college entrance exams are just around the corner,” Black Python asked nosily.
Seeing how Janet had never put her phone down and did not seem to be worried about the exams, he wondered how, even if she was a genius, she could look so relaxed.
At this moment, Red Python nudged Black Python with his elbow to remind him to be mindful of his words.
Under normal circumstances, someone as outstanding as Janet would definitely feel frustrated when she was not good at something. Who knew if she actually felt fearful right now?
“Not in the mood.” Janet stood up and stretched, looking lazy. “I’m planning on visiting Mason.”
Red Python and Black Python looked at each other; they were surprised at how different Janet was from others. She really liked to play with fire.
Around noon, Janet received a call from Mason telling her that he could not make it home for lunch and that he would be having dinner with her tonight after finishing work.
As such, Janet grunted before frowning. “So, you haven’t had your lunch yet, have you?
Mason squinted before answering, “Uh-huh.”
The ending was long, perhaps indicating that he was in a good mood, as this was the first time Janet had asked him about his day.
“If you don’t mind, can I send some leftovers over?” Janet quickly glanced at the dishes on the table. It was almost like a feast since there were more than ten dishes.
“Are you bringing them over?” Mason sounded rather surprised. His tone clearly carried a hint of joy.
Janet responded, “I guess.”
Since she was not doing anything at home, she reckoned that she might as well visit the top corporation in Asia and see what their office looked like.
“Stay safe on your way here.” Mason nonchalantly tapped his cigar with his lean finger as he blinked behind a layer of smoke.
Janet’s voice sounded rather deep and hoarse. “Uh-huh. I’m hanging up now.”
After that, she hung up.
“Miss Jackson, here you go.” After roughly hearing their conversation, Black Python had already asked the maid to pack some food while she was still on the phone with Mason.
As such, Janet turned around, saw the food, took it, and put on her hat. “I’m leaving now.”
“Sure.” Red Python grunted and went to the door with her.
On the other side, the Lowry Family Conglomerate was having a meeting in a spacious conference room where there was a huge conference table. Everyone there was in black suits and ties and the entire atmosphere was extremely serious and cold while all of their assistants sat there solemnly. It was a sea of black.
“Young Master Mason, what are the terms that Davis Corporation has proposed? Are we going to accept their request to be our partner?” one of the assistants asked rather carefully.
