Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 450

Janet rubbed her eyes and checked the time. It was already 4:30 pm.

She got up, walked out of the room, and saw Liam picking up the invitation card from the table, looking at it curiously.

“Your friend came by at noon. She was the one who gave you this.”

Janet could not be bothered to say anything else and turned to go back into the room.

Liam stared at her and put the card down, asking, “You didn’t head out today?”

Janet replied crossly, “Didn’t you tell me not to go running around?”

In truth, she simply felt a little tired. Plus, she was not that interested in the scenery here, so she was too lazy to go out.

However, Liam broke out into a laugh. His lips curled up in an impish manner.

It seemed like he was pleased with her obedience.

He took off his coat, cast it aside, and sat down on the sofa. Then he beckoned to her. “Come here.”

Janet squinted at him.

After a while, she dragged herself over.

She stopped in front of him. Liam suddenly pulled her hand forward. In the next second, a cool item was dangling around her wrist.

Janet was startled by the cool sensation, and her sleepiness vanished instantly.

She lifted her hand, only to find that it was an exquisitely crafted bracelet, inlaid with three star-shaped gemstones the color of sapphire. Although it did not appear too extravagant, it was delicate and beautiful. Judging from the workmanship alone, she knew it must have cost a considerable amount.

She was quite surprised, and asked, “What’s this?”

Liam said breezily, “Someone gave it to me, saying that it’s called ‘Star of the Milky Way’ or something like that. I thought it suited you so I brought it back for you.”

“Oh.”

Janet paused for a moment. “Is there anything else? Otherwise, I’ll head back to the room.”

Liam waved his hand.

Janet turned around and headed to the bedroom.

She went in and closed the door.

In this space that belonged to no one else but her, her initially calm expression shifted subtly. She could not seem to stop beaming as she raised her hand and carefully observed the bracelet on her fair wrist.

The blue gemstones were embedded into the platinum bracelet. When she looked closely, there was a faint shimmer within the gemstones. How pretty!

An indescribable, fuzzy feeling started to bloom in her heart.

At this point, Liam’s voice came over from the other side of the door.

“Don’t go to sleep. Get ready and come out with me for a meal.”

Janet put her hand down. She suddenly thought of something and was about to speak, when he added, “It’ll just be the both of us.”

The words she was about to say were instantly swallowed back down.

After a long pause, she said, “Okay.”

They went down together to eat in an open-air western restaurant in the mountain resort.

Halfway through the meal, Janet suddenly felt someone’s gaze burning into her back, and she could not help turning to look.

Maxine Lee was sitting not too far away from them, surrounded by a group of young men and women. Based on how they dressed, one could tell that they were all involved in the arts. Snatches of their conversation were borne by the wind—all their topics were about art as well.

Janet shot her a polite smile.

However, in a rare breach of etiquette, Maxine did not respond. Her gaze was fixed upon the bracelet on Janet’s wrist.

Janet turned back despondently and glanced at Liam.

He was still gracefully eating his steak as if he did not notice Maxine who was close by.

Not long after that, Maxine walked over.

“Liam, what a coincidence. You both came here to eat as well?”

Only then did Liam seem to notice her. He picked up the napkin and dabbed at the corners of his mouth. “That’s right. You have a gathering with your friends?”

Maxine nodded with a delicate smile. Her body, already so frail in the first place, was accentuated by the smile, and she seemed even more stirringly woeful.
