Chapter 240
From time to time, the camera would capture her silhouette. Wearing a blood red long dress, a gust of wind blew past and she looked like a broken doll—stunning, beautiful and mind-blowing. It was as though all the focus was on her, while the other woman who was supposed to be the female lead was as invisible as a green screen. Next to the woman in red, she looked just like a passerby. The outline of the woman in red flowed beautifully, a captivating sight to the eyes, while the song she composed was astonishingly good.“It’s no wonder that the staff in the investment department kept pestering me like crazy to invest in this music video,” Henry couldn’t help but gush, stunned as he watched the video.It took Mason coming over and patting his shoulder to break him from his daze. In a low voice, he reminded him, “It’s time for you to scram!” It was time for them to get off work, which also meant it was time for him to seek Janet out.Composing himself, Henry replayed the preview of the music video. “Young Master Mason, let me show you a video.”After watching it for a few seconds, Mason turned his head and walked off because he had no interest in such things; it would be better if the person in the music video was Janet.Pouting his lips, Henry pleaded, “Don’t leave, Young Master Mason!” Grabbing Mason, he continued, “I’m not asking you to watch it as a man, but rather as an investor. Do you think this music video will be a big hit?”Henry clearly knew that Mason had no interest in other women at all and would only have a reaction when he saw Janet. Don’t think that I don’t know about it, he thought knowingly. I know Young Master Mason the best.With an uninterested expression, Mason took the cell phone from Henry. “I’m uninterested as a man, but if it’s for investment, then you may be able to make some money out of it,” he said flatly.With years of experience in the business world, an investment deemed worthy by him could never go wrong. Therefore, Henry slapped his thighs at his verdict and announced, “Alright then! Since you’ve already said the word, then I’ll invest five billion in it.” It was true that he was interested in making money, but he was more interested in the mysterious silhouette. Perhaps he could even find himself a wife this time. Seeing the desperate look on Henry’s face, Mason smirked and spoke in a husky voice, “Do you like her that much?”“You won’t understand the joys of regular people like us!” Henry said with a chortle. Casually, he made a call from his cellphone. “Inform the staff in investment that we’ll invest five billion into the music video of ‘Heaven on Earth’!”“F-Five billion?” the staff on the other end of the line repeated in shock. “Mr. Moss, don’t you need to discuss something like this with the board of directors?”“To hell with a discussion; just do as I told you to!” Henry shouted down the line furiously. Suddenly, he added, “By the way, tell the director that I would like a ticket to the live show of ‘Heaven on Earth’.”“Yes, yes; I’ll see to it!” his staff replied, nodding anxiously before hanging up.As Mason listened to Henry’s call, his eyes suddenly grew wider as he recalled seeing a man’s familiar face in the music video earlier. To verify his suspicions, he replayed the video again and sure enough, it was none other than Walter, the same man who asked Janet out for dinner that night.“Why is he popping up everywhere?” he growled under his breath. Will that woman go to the show to support Walter? He was flustered all of a sudden because he understood the meaning behind the look in Walter’s eyes. Just like Mason, he also had the same sort of thoughts toward Janet. At the thought of this, Mason jumped up from his seat, grabbed his jacket and left his office.…At five o’clock, Janet walked out of school and instantly saw Mason’s car waiting at the school gates. “Go home first, guys. I have to take care of some personal matters!” she instructed The Beasts who were following her.They nodded their heads and prepared to return home earlier as they wanted to try out the new weapons they had just received from Lara a few days ago. When Janet saw Mason, she straightened her clothes out of reflex and walked over to him, who was also walking toward her. Casually, he placed his jacket on her when he saw that she wasn’t bundled up. “Why didn’t you put on more layers?” he mumbled, sounding slightly upset.
