Of course, it was still edible.
So, holding the belief that one mustn’t waste food, she ate it all.
Then, she picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp.
Jason frowned again.
The coffee was too milky but lacking in sugar, the bitterness and milky taste intertwining. Although it had its own flavor, he still preferred sothing sweeter.
However, at this mont, Kemi hadn’t noticed these details, as she was entirely captivated by Jason’s "her" response.
"Is she your friend?"
Kemi tentatively tested the waters.
"Yeah."
While nodding, Jason’s gaze shifted toward a book on the dinner plate.
"XXX Appraisal of Different Species?"
What was this book?
"It’s a popular book lately, and I thought it could help you, Jason, so I specifically bought it for you," Kemi explained, holding back her urge to ask further questions.
"Thank you."
With that, Jason headed to the small living room.
He needed to improve his writing.
And reading others’ books was naturally the most direct thod of improvent.
If it was a recently popular book, then there must be sothing valuable in it worth learning from.
With this thought, Jason opened the book.
Then, he found himself unwittingly absorbed in it.
Kemi, seeing Jason so engrossed, didn’t speak up to disturb him. Instead, she quietly left room 313 and returned to 312.
"How did it go? How did it go?"
Your next read awaits at
"Was Jason moved?"
The mont Kemi walked in, the younger Telly rushed over and asked eagerly.
"No."
"He found fault with a bunch of pastries as well."
"And..."
Kemi stopped midway through her sentence.
"And what?"
Telly asked curiously.
"And, it seems like Jason has soone he likes," Kemi said, her expression downcast.
"What?"
"Jason, looking like a psycho killer, has soone who likes him?"
"Is that person crazy?"
Telly spoke her mind candidly, and only after the words ca out did she realize what she had said.
"Kemi, I didn’t an you."
Scratching her head with an embarrassed expression, Telly then quickly changed the subject.
"What a difficult guy. For such a beautiful woman like you to personally bake a cake for him and he still doesn’t appreciate it, plus he has other won? He must be very picky, right?"
"Hmph!"
"n are all pigs!"
Assuming she was right, Telly wore an indignant expression and then reached for the Gold cake that she had helped make on the table.
She couldn’t believe the cake she and Kemi made tasted bad.
And then...
"Cough, cough."
"So fishy, so gross."
After just one bite, Telly threw the cake down and went to drink water.
When Telly was okay, Kemi continued.
"No."
"Jason ate all the pastries."
"Then, he had coffee and went to read."
Kemi shook her head.
"All of them?!"
"Didn’t he say the pastries tasted bad?"
"Really saying one thing and aning another."
Telly was taken aback but then scoffed again.
"The pastries did taste pretty bad."
"I tried them myself, and Telly, you stopped after one bite."
"But Jason ate them all."
"I think Jason is a really gentle person. He knew that the pastries I made didn’t taste good but ate them anyway to spare my feelings."
"Tall, strong, powerful yet gentle Jason, you make like you so much."
Kemi muttered softly, her gaze drifting involuntarily to the wall.
Telly was about to say sothing but eventually didn’t say anything at all.
Instead, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
She was very curious about how Jason could eat sothing so unappetizing.
On the other side of the wall was Jason’s room 313.
Jason, engrossed in his book, wasn’t paying any attention to the conversation next door.
Of course, this didn’t an Jason would ignore everything.
Jason raised his head, drawing his thoughts away from the engrossing world of the "XXX Appraisal of Different Species" and looked toward the direction of the door.
The next mont, there was a knock at the door—
Knock, knock-knock.
Simultaneously, a shadow erged behind Jason, slowly lifting its arm with two sharp blades silently extending from the wrist. As the arm reached forward, they aid directly at Jason’s neck.
