“Should we remove the trending news about Young Master Mason?”
Sean picked up a glass and took a sip of water before he calmly answered, “You don’t have to deal with it. Just let it be.” Would this incident even become a trending topic if Young Master Mason did not have any intention to expose it in the first place? This is obviously his modest way of showing off. Also, he wanted to fend off some rich young ladies who intended to approach him during the birthday banquet. After tonight’s news, there should be quite a number of young ladies who have backed down, knowing that they did not have any chance to be with him.
The public relations department was rendered speechless by his answer. Is Young Master Mason not worried that Miss Janet would be sad after seeing this news? We have always thought that he is a devoted and passionate man, but it turns out that he is actually a playboy! Such a jerk!
Janet arrived in Sandfort City and she alighted from the plane the next day. After changing her clothes, she went to the Lowry Residence.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the living room, she saw Mason sitting on the couch with a laptop in front of him. It seemed like he was reading some kind of news.
When the man, who seemed to be waiting for her, saw that she had returned, he closed his laptop and strode toward her. “You stayed out all night.” His voice was deep and husky.
Janet lowered her head in guilt and she hoped that she could immediately leave that place. She bit her lips and turned to head upstairs without replying to him.
However, his voice rang again and the sound of his footsteps seemed to get closer to her. “Aren’t you going to explain to me?”
Explain? Why should I explain to someone who is feigning ignorance? She raised her indifferent eyes; her voice was as calm as still water. “How about you? Didn’t you stay out all night as well? You even went on a date with a mysterious woman in Markovia!”
She saw the hot news—everyone in the world was looking for the mysterious woman. The man did not take any action to remove the news and allowed things to escalate instead. I wonder what he has in mind.
It was a good thing that her identity as J’Adore was a piece of confidential information that was inaccessible in the entire world.
A smiling Mason walked up to her and extended his arms to hold her waist as he slowly exhaled at her neck. “Tsk, which man gave you that?”
Upon hearing his words, Janet was pissed and pushed him away. “It hurts. Stop blowing at it.”
She was so mad when she recalled the flirtatious words that he said to her when she was wearing a mask.
After saying that, she went past him in an attempt to leave.
Suddenly, Mason called after her with a calm voice, “Babe.”
His tone was low when he asked in a straightforward manner, “Are you J’Adore?”
Without turning to look at him, Janet muttered, “Who is J’Adore? I don’t know her.”
With that, the man behind her fell into a long silence.
Just when she thought that she managed to avoid the danger, he suddenly stepped forward and pinned her against the wall.
Now that his chest was pressed against her back, she felt that her back was burning in his temperature, which made her fingers tremble.
Pressing against her back, Mason’s cold eyes slightly narrowed as he tried to speak gently. “I shall ask you another question then. The person whom I met and discussed about cooperation, who whacked the bald man and saved me from him in Markovia, as well as the one who bought Lee at the slave auction—it’s you, right?” The moment he asked that question, the living room fell into a pin-drop silence.
Janet bit her lips; she did not expect him to investigate Lee’s history as well. She squirmed as her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. “Can’t I have a little privacy?”
She was not sure whether Mason had heard her soft voice, but he finally released his grip on her waist.
Thinking that she was finally free, she took a deep breath. Much to her surprise, the man suddenly turned her over to face him before pressing onto her.
