At first, Janet was a little reluctant.
After much convincing from Brandon, she finally handed over her laptop to him.
"Let go, Janet." Brandon wanted to take the laptop, but Janet still gripped it tightly.
She seemed unwilling to give it up.
"Be careful with it, okay? I don't want your staff to pry into my personal files! My laptop's a treasure trove of my life!" she said anxiously, her bright eyes as wide as saucers.
If she hadn't said anything, Brandon wouldn't have thought about checking what else was in her computer.
But hearing this, Brandon couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Why? What's in your computer?" he asked coldly, his eyes darkening.
Why was she acting weird? Was she hiding something from him?
Could it be possible that she had other men and she kept pictures or something about them in her laptop?
Confused, Janet blinked, not knowing why Brandon's mood suddenly changed.
"Just tell them not to poke around, okay?" she reiterated.
"Got it," Brandon said, his voice tinged with impatience.
He quietly put her laptop away and then continued to cook as though nothing had happened.
This time, Janet didn't linger in the kitchen. She retreated to the living room and sank into the sofa, munching on snacks and watching TV while waiting for dinner.
Some strange sounds would come from the kitchen from time to time. Janet ran over and poked her head into the kitchen to see what was going on. "Honey, what's with the noise?"
