Upon hearing those words, Janet couldn’t help doubling over in laughter inside her heart. However, she managed to conceal her expression well on the surface. “Boss, what are you talking about? Do you mean kissing or…”
“You crazy woman.” The man couldn’t help losing his temper and clenching his fists tightly. Under normal circumstances, I would have skinned this woman alive and fed her to the sharks. Unfortunately, I don’t have a path of retreat today. Thus, I have no choice but to bear with her constant humiliation! If she isn’t crazy, I think I’m going to go crazy instead!
She seemed satisfied and stopped teasing the man. Sitting on a stool, she raised her eyebrows lazily and charmingly. “I didn’t come here today just to fool around with you.”
When the man heard the words ‘fool around’, the cold aura around him increased exponentially. However, she ignored him and continued, “Today, I came to make peace with you. What do you say?”
“Make peace?” The man sneered at those words. “If not for what happened today, we might have had some leeway for reconciliation. However, you challenged my boundaries again today. I won’t ‘make peace’ with you; I won’t let you get away with what you did so easily.”
She lightly snorted. “You provoked me first most of the time. I’m being generous by not making Black Rain beg for my forgiveness. That’s my biggest concession to you. Why are you acting all aggrieved when you set ten fighter jets on us?”
A glimmer of guilt flashed across his eyes before they calmly returned to normal. “The first time, it wasn’t my intention to hijack your books. I only did so out of instinct. The same goes for the second time. However, the third time was because you provoked me. Do you understand?”
The cold manner in which the man spoke gave her the impression that he was a shameless rogue. If this man were any other man and not Mason, I would have shot him in the head!
“Despite everything you say, I still managed to hack into Black Rain’s system. Besides, you didn’t get the books either, right?” She laughed lightly. Her words were filled with disdain.
Upon hearing those words, he frowned and involuntarily rubbed at his eyebrows in irritation. I can’t stand talking to this woman any longer. Just as he was about to tell Sean that they were leaving, a commotion rang out from the first floor of the teahouse.
Since she was standing closer to the railing of the second floor, she leisurely walked over to take a look. She was greeted by the sight of the teahouse customers fleeing in a panic. She was about to say something when a group of people barged in through the entrance of the first floor! All of them were dressed in black casual clothes. Moreover, they were wearing masks and holding guns in their hands—they looked very aggressive.
“You’re shameless!” Thinking that it was a trap Mason set, Janet turned to glare at him coldly.
Mason was confused by the woman’s accusation. He did not have the faintest idea why she said that to him. “What’s going on?”
After saying that, he walked over to the railing and frowningly glanced down to the first floor. He saw a group of black-clothed men surrounding the first-floor entrance. They were also wearing masks that concealed their faces from the public. Turning to stare at the woman with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, he coldly uttered, “You are shameless!” This woman sure is cunning! Is she trying to take the chance to kill me seeing that we can’t reach a compromise?!
Her pupils contracted abruptly. She narrowed her eyes slightly and coldly asked, “Aren’t those your men?”
His eyes were crimson from rage. “Don’t blame me for something you did!” Those men are clearly here under her orders. How dare she try and blame it on me instead?! She sure is good at pretending!
“I can deal with you alone. Why would I need to bring in so many people?” she retorted coldly.
Following that, the air was dead silent for several moments.
“Those are not your men?” The man’s throat tightened in response. “Could there be a third party?”
Janet didn’t say anything as she lowered her gaze to study the men dressed in black plain clothes.
