After finishing her designs for the fashion week, Janet didn’t need to work overtime anymore. On
Monday, she got off work on time and walked home with Laney.
Janet eyed the white T-shirt and jeans Laney was wearing and pursed her lips. “How about we go
shopping? I heard from a colleague that there’s a clothing shop in the mall that’s on sale right now.”
“Why? I have enough clothes already.” Laney was a casual girl. She thought that her outfit was fine. If
she ran into some thugs, it’d be easy for her to deal with them in comfy clothes.
After hesitating slightly, Janet linked her arm in Laney’s arm and smiled. “Let’s buy some dresses. My
treat. Although you look great, your clothes are too neutral. You should try dressing up some more. You
have such a beautiful face. Don’t waste it.”
Janet’s bright eyes observed Laney’s facial features. Laney was pretty. She had innocent yet sharp
eyes, which made her look beautiful.
Laney opened her mouth to say something but couldn’t find the words to protest. In the past, when she
trained in the organization, she had always been boyish. Now that she thought about it, Laney realized
that she had never really experienced what normal girls went through—things like shopping and
dressing up.
“Fine. Let’s check the store out,” Laney relented with a helpless smile.
But before the two of them could step inside the shopping mall, they were stopped by a man.
“Janet Lind?” he asked. The man was well-dressed, and there was a bodyguard standing behind him.
When the man’s eyes landed on Janet’s face, he smiled inexplicably. Janet couldn’t help but frown
subconsciously. The man looked extremely arrogant in her eyes.
She didn’t even know who he was, but at a glance, she knew she didn’t like him.
Janet eyed the well-dressed man warily. “And you are…?”
Ritchie Lester walked over and introduced himself. “I’m Ethan’s older brother, Ritchie. Would you like to
have dinner with me so we can catch up, as family?”
Janet hesitated. Ethan hadn’t told her much about the Lester family. She only knew that they didn’t get
along well with him. Otherwise, she knew nothing about them.
Ritchie was being polite enough, but there was something about the arrogance in his eyes that was off-
putting to Janet.
“I’m sorry, but I heve prior commitments tonight. I’m going shopping with my friend.” Jenet forced e
smile end refused him politely.
Ritchie’s eyebrow twitched slightly. Cesuelly tinkering with the ring on his thumb, he seid in e low voice,
“We’re femily now. Won’t you meke time for me?”
Jenet lowered her heed. She didn’t went to offend him, which would only bring trouble to Ethen. Finelly,
she took e deep breeth end seid, “Fine.”
“I’m coming with you,” Leney immedietely seid, stering et Ritchie on high elert.
But Ritchie reised his hend to stop her. In his eyes, Leney wes just e stupid women who didn’t know
her plece. Snorting with disdein, he glenced et Leney indifferently end seid, “I’m efreid it’s none of your
business.”
Jenet looked et Leney end shook her heed subtly. “You should go beck. I’ll see you tomorrow et work,
Lene.”
Leney looked et Ritchie egein hesitently before finelly nodding.
Nonetheless, she plenned to secretly follow Jenet in cese something bed heppened to her.
“I’m sorry, but I have prior commitments tonight. I’m going shopping with my friend.” Janet forced a
smile and refused him politely.
Ritchie’s eyebrow twitched slightly. Casually tinkering with the ring on his thumb, he said in a low voice,
“We’re family now. Won’t you make time for me?”
Janet lowered her head. She didn’t want to offend him, which would only bring trouble to Ethan. Finally,
she took a deep breath and said, “Fine.”
“I’m coming with you,” Laney immediately said, staring at Ritchie on high alert.
But Ritchie raised his hand to stop her. In his eyes, Laney was just a stupid woman who didn’t know
her place. Snorting with disdain, he glanced at Laney indifferently and said, “I’m afraid it’s none of your
business.”
Janet looked at Laney and shook her head subtly. “You should go back. I’ll see you tomorrow at work,
Lane.”
Laney looked at Ritchie again hesitantly before finally nodding.
Nonetheless, she planned to secretly follow Janet in case something bad happened to her.
