After the second round of passionate lovemaking, Janet felt as though her body was about to give up.
She raised her index finger and poked Brandon on the chest. "Are you still angry at me?" she asked cautiously.
Brandon suddenly pulled her close to him and buried his face in her neck. He held her in his arms without saying a word. No matter how Janet approached, he refused to tell her why he was angry.
But Janet could tell that he was in a better mood than earlier.
Brandon pulled the quilt over them and held Janet close. "Just go to sleep."
Janet pouted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't push the matter.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep. By the time she opened her eyes again, it was already morning.
It was bright out. Yawning, Janet turned in bed, only to catch a glimpse of Brandon going out the door. He was already dressed, so he must've left for the company.
Janet stuck out of her lower lip and pulled the quilt over her head. She was pissed. She had worked hard to make him happy last night. In the end, he still refused to forgive her or even told her why he was mad at her!
She stayed in bed for a little while longer before finally getting up to go to work. Her bodyguard followed her to the studio, as usual.
Now that Laney and Garrett had picked her to design their attire for the upcoming event, she wanted to give them her absolute best.
As soon as Janet got to her desk, she began to work. She was so immersed in her design that she paid no attention to her surroundings.
"Hey, your phone has been pinging." It wasn't until Tasha held up her phone in front of her that she realized that someone had been texting her.
"Oh, thanks, Tasha." Janet took the phone and found that it was Laney who had left her a string of messages.
"Thanks again, Janet! I'll treat you to a big meal next time, okay?" Janet smiled as she read the messages.
Just as she was about to put away her phone, it pinged again.
This time, it was Garrett who had texted her.
Just looking at the words on her screen, Janet felt like she could almost hear his whining tone.
