“Haha! Haha! If you like it, I can lend it to you!” Abby laughed in an awkward manner.
While looking at the silly girl in front of her, Hazel could not bring herself to reject the offer, so she nodded and took the book from her. I’ll save it for the times when I’m bored.
During the lunch break, Janet lay on the couch in Professor Mason’s office with her eyes lowered as she played with the apps on her phone.
Sitting on the office chair, Mason crossed his legs and occasionally looked at her with his profound, dark eyes.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
He raised his head and coldly said, “Come on in.”
As soon as Sean opened the door, the first person whom he saw was Janet seated on the couch. She was playing some games on her phone.
He moved his glance away from her and cleared his throat before he responded in a low voice, “I have something to tell you.”
Mason slowly raised his eyes as he asked in a cool voice, “What is it?”
Sean reported to Mason’s ears, “If our information is right, the author, Rose, will ship a cargo of books through Leamore Lane. Do we need to ask our men to check on the books?”
As soon as Mason heard the name ‘Rose’, his fingertips froze as he immediately radiated an eerie and terrifying vibe. “Huh! She still has the courage to come?”
The last time around, they detained her car for a day to assist in their investigation. Then, they returned it the next day.
However, Rose could not even resist herself from hacking into Black Rain that night and causing the system to crash, much to everyone’s surprise. It took a lot of time and effort to return Black Rain to its working state, which caused him to spend less time with Janet.
He did not care whether the hacker was Rose herself. No matter what, she was definitely involved in it.
Sean felt that the air was thinner, so he frowned while asking, “Shall we follow our usual procedures and check her cargo or let her go this time?”
Mason slightly curled his lips with a savage look in his eyes. With a chuckle, he countered, “Let her go?” The sentence feels like it’s a ridiculous question to be asked. I’m the most powerful person in Asia. Apart from an unknown organization barging into Sandfort City with the weapons that they have brought along, no one has ever fooled around with me.
An even more amusing fact was that both people who made a fool out of him were women.
As the most powerful man in Asia, how can I be afraid of a woman?
While looking at the sinister and terrifying Mason, Sean asked in worry, “Young Master Mason, what you mean to say is for us to check the cargo as usual?”
After Mason rose up to his full height, his face immediately darkened. “Of course we have to check it thoroughly.” I’m not detaining it only for a day. I want to let those books sink into the sea and forbid the author by the name of Rose to step into Sandfort City!
Upon hearing his reply, Sean felt uneasy.
Even though he was also worried that Black Rain’s system would be hacked again, he was well aware that Mason had been holding a grudge over that. Now that the opportunity rose, it was impossible for him to let the person go.
It would be considered merciful of him not to skin her alive.
As Janet was focused on her game, she did not eavesdrop on the conversation between both men in the room.
She merely felt that the air became thinner and the man who sat in the office chair looked sullen.
After getting out of the game, she raised her eyes to look at him as she frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Mason’s eyes narrowed. “It’s just someone who’s not afraid of death.” If Rose dares to hack into Black Rain’s system this time, she’s doomed!
Janet replied lazily, “Oh. Do you need my help then?”
She’s just a weak woman who doesn’t require Janet to help me! Janet’s looking down on my abilities. Hence, he gently shook his head. “I don’t need your help, but are you free tonight?”
He wanted her to feel the power of Black Rain, which was owned by him.
