Ever since the incident that happened in the cafe, Janet had never seen Kent again.
And just when she thought that her life was starting to get peaceful again, she received a call from him.
Janet was still at work, so she didn't want to answer the call. However, it was hard to ignore his incessant calls, so in the end, she relented and answered it.
"Aren't you going to thank me for saving your life last time, Miss Lind?" Janet could hear Kent chuckling as he said those words.
Originally, she just didn't like him, and after all he had done to pester her, she even started to hate his guts. However, it was also true that he had indeed impressed her by doing something heroic as saving her life and she now owed him a big favor. If he hadn't stopped her from drinking the coffee, she might've been the one who got raped.
"Fine. I hear you. What do you want, Mr. Perkins?" Janet asked after glancing around vigilantly.
"Hmm... What do I want? Would you like to drop by my house tomorrow night?" Kent bantered.
"Mr. Perkins, please don't poke fun at me. Otherwise, I'm going to hang up on you." Because of his senseless joke, Janet got impatient.
Upon hearing that she was about to hang up,
Kent had to get serious. "Sorry, I was just kidding. Don't be mad. Well, how about having dinner with me instead?"
Naturally, Janet didn't want to see Kent on her own. She figured it would be best to ask Ethan to tag along.
"Alright, I'll treat you to dinner, but I'll decide the time and location," she answered.
"Sure. Just send me the address once you've decided." A smile appeared on Kent's face.
