It would be so embarrassing if Emily didn’t become the champion! Although Janet was a part of the Jackson family, and she was multi-talented, even she didn’t keep such a high-profile!
Janet raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Students taught by Hilbert won’t perform too badly. She might actually win the championship.”
“Pfft!” Henry responded offhandedly. “Don’t forget—there are many other music prodigies in Sandfort City.” He already knew several of them.
Didn’t Moss Group invest in a music video before? Although Jessie messed it up and they lost a lot of money in the end, he vaguely remembered a musician called Sweet Tune. (Refer to Chapter 163).
The way she played the piano was natural and smooth, and it made him feel as happy as a person enjoying the rain after a long drought. Moreover, despite not seeing her face, she had a nice figure. Just thinking about it made Henry’s heart flutter!
Catching sight of the yearnful look on his face, Janet chuckled. “Why? Is there someone you like?”
Henry looked down like a sheepish young lady and said, “Last time, Moss Group invested in a music video called ‘Heaven on Earth’, and there was a pianist called Sweet Tune.” He didn’t bother covering it up, so he just told her the truth. “To be honest, I’m quite interested in her.” Although he had met all kinds of women, there was never a woman who was able to attract his attention with just a back view.
As soon as he said this, Lee’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly and he let out a dry cough. Janet raised her eyebrows and a somewhat surprised look appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared. She smiled and exclaimed, “Sweet Tune, huh?”
Henry blinked, stunned by Janet’s reaction. “Mrs. Lowry, do you know that woman?”
Janet coughed, then said nonchalantly, “Sort of. Why? What do you want to do?”
He was delighted to hear this, and his dark eyes lit up instantly. “Then, do you know if Sweet Tune’s going to participate in the World Piano Competition this time?”
“It’s not confirmed yet.” Janet’s expression was so natural as she picked on her nails that no one could find anything amiss.
Henry grinned and bumped Janet’s arm. “Mrs. Lowry, can you give me her contact information? I’ll find a way to chat her up.”
Upon seeing Henry’s intimate gesture of bumping her on the arm, Mason’s eyeballs nearly popped out of its sockets.
At this moment, Janet coughed stiffly and touched her nose as if feeling guilty. “Forget it. She already has a boyfriend.”
Boyfriend? This news disappointed Henry. She’s such a beautiful woman who exuded an air of literacy and artistry! Which scoundrel’s lucky enough to be her boyfriend?
Henry felt a sense of regret overcome him. He rolled his eyes and covered his mouth, then said, “It doesn’t matter if she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is definitely not any better than me. I will make her mine, so please give me her contact information!”
Henry’s words almost made Lee spit out his red wine. Not bad. He has the guts to steal Young Master Mason’s girlfriend!
The more the conversation progressed, the more Janet felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly moved her body and pushed Henry away. In a cold voice, she said, “Get your head straight.”
Janet shot a glance at the man next to her. She was afraid that if they continued like this when her identity was revealed, she would be in huge trouble.
“Mrs. Lowry, you’re so petty.” Henry was irritated. How was he supposed to be at ease when he had been denied the chance to pursue the first woman who caught his attention?
Janet rubbed her chin. After a while, she said, “Young Master Moss, don’t you have any beautiful women you want? Do you have to be so hell-bent on getting her? What’s with you?”
Henry said nothing as he turned away and sulked.
