CHAPTER 376

“No!” Janet shook her head. “I just came out of the shower.”But he did not give her a chance to refuse

and pulled her straight into the bathroom.“I… Mason… I took a shower already. I don’t need to shower

again!”The housekeeper was passing by in the corridor. When she heard the ambiguous sounds

coming from inside the room, she immediately blushed and walked away.How did Miss Jackson appear

so suddenly?…….Ten minutes later, Janet came out as the winner in that battle. She managed to

escape from the bathroom and headed downstairs with a growling stomach.“Miss Jackson!” The Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

housekeeper, who was put in charge of taking care of her, looked at her in shock. “H-How are you

coming down from there? I just…”She was unable to get her words out properly.Meanwhile, Janet

raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “I’ve been upstairs the whole time. You just missed me.”“Is that

so?” The housekeeper scratched her head and was unable to comprehend the situation. She had even

checked several times earlier. Only when she was certain that Janet was not in her room did she call

Mason. Was I mistaken?Seeing Janet standing in front of her in one piece, she finally released the

breath she was holding. Forget it. As long as Miss Jackson is fine, that’s all that matters. Maybe I really

was mistaken.…….In the morning when the sky was still dim, Janet slowly opened her eyes.She

moved and tried to inch her way out of his embrace. Throughout the night, she had struggled to get any

air from being held in his arms.It seemed like she had caused him great distress last night which, in

effect, instilled in him the fear of losing her.At the side, her phone suddenly lit up and she realized that

Abby had sent her a message last night.Abby: ‘Janet, Class F is having a banquet tomorrow afternoon

at the Four Seasons Hotel.’Feeling her hair, Janet then turned the screen off. “What’s wrong?” Mason’s

eyes were not open. He was still hugging her thin waist with a lazy look on his handsome face as he

asked in a hoarse voice, “Who sent you a message this early in the morning?”She tried to sit up. “My

classmate informed me that there will be a get-together at noon today!”“A class reunion?” His voice

grew more hoarse as he tightened his grip around her. “Where?”“Four Seasons Hotel or something.”

His grip continued to tighten. She was baffled. “Let me go. I want to wash up!”I’ve never met such a

clingy man before. He’s the most powerful man in Asia, yet he goes back and forth between clingy and

vicious. What do I do with him?Once she was in the bathroom, she started brushing her teeth and

looking at herself in the mirror. That was when she noticed the big, red mark on her neck.Her face

turned red in an instant.This is so embarrassing!She used her hand to poke the red mark but it only

became more obvious.Outside, she heard Mason talking to someone.It must be about work.Thus, she

did not think too much about it.At 11 AM, Abby was waiting at the designated place for Janet.She

gulped as she looked at the rows of luxurious villas in awe.“Beasts!” Abby cried out in alarm, “This is

the Villa District where all the big figures in Sandfort City live. Are you sure that Janet lives here?”She

did not mean that Janet did not fit the place, but it was still hard to imagine.From what her father told

her, all the big figures in society lived in Villa District—the mayor, several tycoon families, and so on.It

was apparent that Janet’s father fell short of those qualifications.Moreover, Janet was unable to

purchase such a luxurious villa on her own.“I looked at the address and it’s right!” Dexter blinked at her

with a puzzled look.Isn’t Abby overreacting? What’s so great about these villas? None of the villas that

Boss owns in Markovia are lacking in comparison to the ones here. “Silly girl!” Dexter teased.
