Chapter 31: Close call

Janice is sitting in the living room of the CK villa. Papers are spread next to her, and a laptop is placed on her lap. She is lying half on the sofa and half on the table in front. She is holding a pencil in her mouth and sighing for two hours. Her notepad is all blank. She isn't focusing, and lying there feels like she is lying in a morgue. She unconsciously takes a strand of her hair and twists it around her finger, tossing a bar of chocolate in her mouth.

She overlooks Dylan, who keeps his voice high, telling Christian how he ended up getting a bruise on his back. He once again loudly says, as Kingsley joins them, that she can hear him, "There was a cat who jumped on me in the yacht. I tripped and fell and hit the holder of one of the cabinets."

"A cat? What was a cat doing in your yacht?" asks Kingsley casually as Christian applies ointment on his back.
