Jason pulled him back after receiving the warm embrace that was presented to him by Mason, “Are you sure you are fine? Are you sure nothing happened to you?” He touched all the body of Mason to be sure nothing happened to him. “I'm doing okay, man. It feels so good to see you, Jason. I thought you wouldn't show up right here with me.” he hugged him one more time before relaxing the tightness of his body. “No way! Mason, there is no way I won't show up right here after everything I heard on that call. I'm more than excited to see that you are safe.” A warm smile erupted on his face,“Thank you, Jason. But, how were you able to locate my father's house I know that I've never for once brought you here before.”Jason smiled back at Mason and shook his head back and forth in agreement with what he said, “Well, I and Precious traced you one time when you left the office abruptly and that's how I was able to locate your father's mansion.”“What is happening over there? Mason, who are you
In front of a group of people, a tall, young man in a janitor's outfit had his head bowed, looking to the floor. "Sir…" Suddenly, one of them grabbed his head and slammed it into the sink. "Argh…" He yelled out a cry but forced himself to stay silent, shuddering. "Make sure you scrub that restroom till it is spotless. After all, the only thing distinguishing you from it is the smell," Lucas taunted, triggering laughter from the group. Mason watched as they, one by one, left the restroom with style. After they had exited, he sighed. He brought his hands to touch his forehead and winced at the tender bump. Mason Vince remained silent, lifting his gaze from where he had collided with the sink. Mason was already used to all of this, enduring such treatment was nothing new to him. He had no right to fight back because Lucas was the accountant of WIMS Hotel, so he held a higher position than him and Mason might be sacked from his job. His phone began to vibrate, and as soon as he
She rolled her eyes, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.But he continued staring at her and she gave him a firm, irritated look.He observed her actions and the expression on her face. Was he dreaming? Could he be mistaken? Was this truly his Anna?"Listen here, Mason, or whatever the hell your ugly name is, I want you to leave this room, or else..?" James warned."Or else what?" he blurted out, brimming with anger."Are you talking back at your boss?" James bellowed.Mason realized this and the furrow on his brow faded, let out a sigh, and looked away."So now you've got the nerve, huh? But honestly, tell me, Mason, how could you be so selfish as to believe that other men wouldn't be drawn to your beautiful girlfriend?" James jeered, his fingers grazing her cheeks.Mason's anger returned and tripled as he watched him touch her with such lustful gaze. He wanted to give him a dirty punch on his face but was barely holding back, his fists clenched tightly."Anna, is this truly
Mason forcefully pulled his hands away from the man's grip. Was he joking? Or was he mistaking him for someone else?He stared at the man, trying to place where he had seen that familiar face before, but his memory failed him."I still don't understand what you're saying. I'm just an orphan..." Mason trailed off, gazing deep into Andrew's eyes. Suddenly, a vivid memory from 20 years ago flashed through Mason's mind. The time he was kept inside the orphanage home.He recalled Andrew's promise to return and take him away. But the promise was never fulfilled as he never returned, leaving him with no choice but to stay in the orphanage. The memory rushed back, flashing in his head. Mason remembered how he had been dropped off near the gatekeeper's room, the confusion and tears when he was told that his father had passed away.Mason covered his mouth with trembling hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He scanned Andrew from head to toe, confirming that he was indeed the one.The only bi
He looked around the room he had slept in. It was four times bigger than the room he used to sleep in, and even the meal he had eaten the previous night filled him up like never before.He picked up the clothes that were laid out on his bed. It was just a white long-sleeve shirt and black trousers. He wondered why Andrew had given him these clothes. After dressing up, he left his room and descended the stairs, making his way to the parlor.The bodyguards at the front of Andrew bowed their heads as soon as they saw him."As I mentioned yesterday, the funds were stolen from the Willstone Group, and I need you to get them back for me, son," Andrew said, pausing as he handed over the papers to Mason."But why do we need to catch the person responsible, Dad? I think we have more than enough money to cover the loss," Mason questioned.Andrew chuckled. "That's not how we do business, son.""Someone stole this money from my group's profits, and I want it back. You are the only person I trust
Mason laughed loudly because he found it amusing. He couldn't believe that was what she was thinking. He shook his head."To make it short, please check the documents of your new staff and find my name in them. I want to start my job right away.""And what if I don't? Because just looking at your face or knowing that you got this job because of me makes me feel sick," she shouted."I'm not here because of you. You don't matter to me anymore. Understand that. Now, are you going to hire me, and complete the necessary procedures, or should I go to my department by myself?"Anna was immediately taken aback. She couldn't help but feel irritated by his words, especially the fact that he called her dumb."How did he change so suddenly? Wasn't he the person who used to be deeply and madly in love with me and would do anything to make me happy?" she wondered to herself.She knew how foolishly he had behaved towards her before. Or was he just pretending so that she wouldn't realize?She then lo
"You're both fired!" The manager's words caught them off guard, and they were stunned by the sudden termination."You idiots! This is Andrew Willstone's son and Gregory Willstone's grandson! Do you have any idea about the kind of power he holds?" the manager yelled, his frustration evident. He then proceeded to slap both of them, leaving them in shock. They turned their gaze towards Mason, who had a slight smirk on his face."Sir... Please, we didn't know he was the one..." one of them pleaded, their voices filled with both being surprised and sad."Shut up! Don't beg me, beg the one you disrespected!" Jonah, the manager snapped in anger. The two guards couldn't help but kneel in front of him, feeling utterly embarrassed, they were scared as their faces were almost touching the floor. Their desperation to get their jobs back was shown as they pleaded, "Please, young master, we are truly sorry..." They were driven by shame, realizing that this was the only way to save their jobs.Maso
"Yes, I have loved someone before, and her name is Anna. Well, she is no longer my fiancee. She left me for another man," Mason admitted, a little bit of pain was shown in his voice.Andrew chuckled at these words. "She thought she left Stone but little did she know she left Diamond. How pathetic of her," he remarked, as he felt pity for her.Gregory smirked, his voice lowered. "Do you still have feelings for her? Like do you love her?" he asked, curious to know whether Mason still loved her.Mason couldn't help but wonder why his grandfather had raised that particular question. He realized that answering it wouldn't be easy, and he didn't want to hide the truth.Considering everything he had gone through with Anna, enduring her hurtful words, and the challenges they faced together, Mason let out a sigh. "I'm still healing, so it's hard for me to give a simple 'yes' or 'no.' What I do know is that there is a strong feeling of hatred between us," he explained, at least the last state
