This is so embarrassing! Like I’m the one who’s itching for some action in bed! At the thought of that, Janet was piqued as she made up her mind to never initiate an advance to Mason again. I’d rather die than make the first move ever again.
Meanwhile, Rebecca was getting frustrated after a few days of waiting for Mason to phone back. In fact, she was tempted many times to give the man a call, but her pride would have none of it. Even so, she still didn’t receive a call or even a text from Mason, no matter how patiently she had waited. Despite her adamant stance, her ego wouldn’t allow her to stomach Mason’s indifferent treatment.
“Rebecca, hasn’t anyone from the Lowry Family contacted you?” Esme was beginning to get worried about her daughter. Megan recently told me that Emily has been doing well in Yobril. Therefore, if everything goes smoothly, she’ll likely return in two months’ time. The worrying thought kept reverberating in Esme’s mind, unnerving her.
In the meantime, Rebecca bitterly looked down in embarrassment, an anxious look appearing on her face. “Let’s just wait and see.” After all, she believed that Mason would fall for her charm one day. Mason is only treating me so coldly because he doesn’t know me at all, and neither has he seen my good looks. At the thought of that, she turned her attention to her mother. “Mom, could you please send me all the pictures that were taken during my gathering?” When Mason sees my good looks, I believe his heart will flutter for sure. By then, he’ll surely find ways to meet me up.
As Rebecca had requested, Esme sent her daughter all the pictures of her gracefully interacting with the other socialites in the banquet. Soon, Rebecca returned to her bedroom, hesitating for a short while before she decided to dial the familiar number.
On the other hand, Mason unhappily tossed his phone at Black Python when he saw an unknown incoming call. “Answer it.” Although he was in his office without Janet by his side at that moment, he didn’t want any unnecessary trouble, considering the recent farce that only just happened a few days ago. I’d hate to see Janet’s jealous look again. In the meantime, Black Python paused for a few seconds before smiling ambiguously at his boss.
When the call connected a few moments later, Rebecca started speaking with her coquettish voice. “Hello, may I speak to Mason, please?”
As soon as he heard the lady’s voice, Black Python felt goosebumps running all over his skin. Then, he replied in a disgusted manner, “I’m Young Master Mason’s subordinate. If you have anything to tell him, I could be your messenger to pass on the word.”
Originally excited, Rebecca was immediately taken aback by the voice she heard. What the hell? Is this another employee of his?! Why won’t Mason come and answer my call himself? Nonetheless, she quickly calmed down and pondered briefly, whereupon she began browsing through her gallery and sent a few pictures over. “Could you please show this to Mr. Lowry?”
Upon hearing the notification alert, Black Python opened the incoming message and viewed those pictures. A few seconds later, he shook his head and said, “Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? You are nowhere near as pretty as our boss’s wife. Even I’m not attracted to them, so what makes you think Young Master Mason is going to fall for them? If I were you, I’d give up right away.” After that, Black Python hung up the call straight away.
The man’s reply was soon followed by a busy tone from the phone, while Rebecca was left dumbfounded for a few seconds. What the hell did he just say?! I’m nowhere near as pretty as their boss’s wife?! Did he just say I can’t compare with Mason’s wife?! Wait a minute! Since when did Mason have a wife? I don’t remember seeing any woman around him, and I thought it was always because he’s choosy.
Rebecca’s face immediately stiffened in shock. After that, she recalled one of the hottest posts on Twitter that was about Janet entering a car, which was a limited edition. While there were only three of those cars in Sandfort City, one of them was owned by the Lowry Family’s future heir—Mason Lowry. At that moment, Rebecca suddenly had a bad feeling about the matter. Could Janet be the wife that the guy was referring to?
Meanwhile, Black Python nodded at Mason after hanging up the call. “How did I do, Young Master Mason? Was it a good move?”
