Chapter 230

Pursing her red lips slightly, Janet bent down and edged closer toward Mason's neck. Noticing that his breathing was getting heavier, she chuckled. "I'm not going to do that because I'm not a dog!"Mason looked up at her through his lashes, a trace of hot desire flickering in his eyes. Breathing heavily, he said hoarsely, "Are you trying to seduce me?"Janet returned to her seat and leaned back leisurely without answering him. Judging from Mason's tone, he sounded really keen to be bitten by her. What a masochist... Both of them were always tough and decisive in handling other matters but they were out of their depth when it came to relationships."Let's go and grab a bite." Mason's deep voice came before the sound of the car engine revving. Meanwhile, Janet fished out her phone and sent a message to Walter: 'Let's meet up some other time!' She then received a reply from him instantly: 'Okay!'From time to time, Mason would turn to take a peek at Janet who sat next to him. Pressing one hand against his forehead, he controlled the steering wheel with the other as he stared at the road ahead with narrowed eyes. "Where are we having dinner?" Janet asked without looking at him and not taking her eyes away from her phone. After a silence that lasted several seconds, Mason answered, "Let's head to the Leaping Dragon Hotel."She opened her eyes wide and cast him a glance before returning her attention to her phone. "Okay."Janet would be able to have her favorite braised eggplant dish at the Leaping Dragon Hotel's restaurant. Inside the private VIP room, Janet was leaning in a laid-back manner on the sofa as she took a fruit candy from a plate, popping it into her mouth and lightly sucking at it. A slight clicking sound was produced when the candy came into contact with her teeth.Mason raised his brows slightly, wondering why his skin was burning all of a sudden. At that moment, Janet's phone started ringing. Seeing that it was from Dexter, she immediately picked it up. "Boss, we've sent our test papers to your email address. Please go through it!" Dexter said in a weary tone.Janet paused for several seconds before answering him with a note of amusement in her voice, "Alright."Tyler's voice soon came from the other end, "Boss, since we've completed our test papers, are we allowed to do other things now?"As Janet was on the phone, a waiter came in with the dishes. "Yes, you may," Janet responded calmly before hanging up on them and putting her phone aside. Once the waiter finished serving the dishes, Janet took a bite of the braised eggplant. She seemed to have taken a liking to it as she quickly took another bite. "Did I hear test papers over the phone?" Mason stared at her luscious lips and was quickly enthralled by it.When Janet heard his question, she was busy sending a mouthful of eggplant into her mouth with a lazy expression. Noticing that she was about to finish the eggplant in her bowl, Mason scooped the remaining portion from the plate into her bowl."I've been busy helping my classmates to improve their results; otherwise all of us will be punished to clean the toilets at our school," Janet spoke all of a sudden with a hint of sarcasm in her tone."What ridiculous rule is that?" Mason raised his brows, his eyes angry."Don't be angry. In fact, I'm glad to see them making an effort this time. Perhaps they might even stand a chance at scoring well in the college entrance exam!" Slowly, she took the napkin and used it to dab at her mouth. Mason's eyes gleamed up slightly with admiration when he heard her. Looking at her exquisite features, he curled his thin lips upward into a grin and complimented her, "You're so kind, Babe!" What a kind and helpful girl Janet was. Janet averted her face away from him, wondering what warranted him to address her that way. Mason's eyes shone with joy and he chuckled.... On the other hand, Jessie visited the Hunter Group wearing heels and looking so sulky it was as if everyone at the office was her enemy. For no reason at all, she threw a tantrum at the receptionist and demanded to see her father. "Where's my dad?"As soon as the receptionist saw her, she immediately put on a smile and greeted her, "Good afternoon, Young Lady Hunter.""Is my dad inside?" Impatiently, Jessie jabbed her fingers hard at the receptionist's forehead and shouted, "Answer me, you idiot!"As soon as her voice was heard, all the other employees present at the office quickly dispersed and stayed out of her way to avoid offending her. Everyone knew very well i spelled trouble for all of them when Jessie was upset because she might decide to complain to her father, Ewan Hunter. "President Hunter is in the middle of a meeting." Despite feeling aggrieved deep down inside, the receptionist had no choice but to maintain a smiling expression. Jessie cast her a look of disgust before cursing under her breath, "Ugh idiot, you'd better be careful because I can always get my dad to fire you."
