"It’s a cold day.How would you like to have a cup of coffee with me, Miss Lind?"
Kent stepped on the snow to get to Janet, but then he kept his distance and kept his voice calm and respectful.
Janet could not refuse because he had helped her again just recently, so she pointed to somewhere in the distance and said,
"There is a coffeehouse right around the corner.This will be my treat for all the help you rendered the last time."
Kent was rather amused, so he asked, "Do you have to keep things so formal all the time? I wasn’t expecting repayment"
Janet simply stared at him and shrugged her shoulders.She said, "In that case, there’s no need to go and get coffee with
you.Can I go home now?"
Turning around, she attempted to leave.
"Can you ignore what I just said? I was joking."
Kent said, obviously flustered by her rejection Janet bit her lips to stifle her laughter as she thought, ‘‘Why does he look so silly?
The two of them walked into the coffeehouse. While they were in the coffeehouse, Janet paid more attention to her phone than
Kent even though they were sitting opposite each other, so he said, "Hey, I am sitting right here, but you have been checking
your phone since we got here.That’s rather rude, you know?"
When she heard that, Janet raised her head and smiled, "I am so sorry I was just checking in with my husband."
The disappointment in Kent’s voice was obvious as he asked, "So you are on good terms?"
"Of course."
Janet’s excitement was obvious in her voice and she didn’t realize she had answered without any hesitation Kent’s eyebrows
were raised as he ordered two lattes before handing the menu back to the waiter.
Suddenly he asked Janet, "Who has been helping you all this while? Who’s the person to you?"
Janet bit her lower lip and asked, "What do you mean? It’s just a rumor, and there’s no need to take it seriously."
"I really think someone is backing you because someone brought Emani down right after you were cyberbullied.That was pretty
obvious, wasn’t it?"
"No.I think someone else had been plotting against her, and they just took that opportunity to bring her down," Janet said with a
sigh.
"It could’ve also been a reporter who just wanted the spotlight." Kent realized Janet was really naive.
He pressed his elbows against the table and sat up as he said, "You are really simple, aren’t you? If there’s something I know
about the entertainment industry, it is that ordinary paparazzi will never get their hands on so many big secrets on one star.Even
if they do, they would usually let it out immediately for their readers to enjoy.However, for someone to have found out so many of
Emani’s secrets in such a short time, he must be a big shot."
"How is that even possible?" Janet managed to look calm, even though Kent’s words got to her.
Her first thought was that it could be Brandon.
He was the only person she could think of who was that powerful and would try to help her.
Still, she refused to believe he would do this for her.
When she thought about the fact that he had helped her again and again, however, Janet began to wonder if it was really him.
She decided to ask him about it later.
When he saw that she was lost in thought, Kent knew that his words had gotten to her.
He laughed out loud and joked, "If you have such a powerful supporter, why haven’t you left your loser of a husband? Is it
because you don’t actually love your backer? Not a problem though.You’ll find a way to fall in love with this backer of yours I’m
sure, Or is it because it’s just pure business from the very beginning? In that case, I can be your new backer and you can marry
me.That’s also an option."
