Mason

I can't believe Lydia got the contract. True, she had a perfect vantage since she was new and had been able to keep a reputation.

I grind my molar, my car careening to the left as I take a sharp turn.

Pressing hard on the accelerator, I drove further and further into the city. This was driving me insane.

My phone rang, but I didn't reach for it.

This deal meant a lot.

I made up with Julia just for this deal, hoping it wouldn't fall through since her father was there, but it did.

I drove to my penthouse. Stopping The car in the underground parking lot, I stepped out, slamming the door behind me.

The underground parking lot is lightened by dim light. There was an aisle with cars scattered around both sides.

The glass door slid when I got closer, and I stepped in. Stopping in front of the elevator, I pulled out my phone from my pocket and opened a news app.

Lydia's photo was everywhere; this was the most trending news in the business world right now. I stepped into the ele

    MasonDavid sent me the address just as he promised. As I drove down to the bar, I couldn't help but think about Lydia. She must be celebrating now, and a part of me wishes I were there with her. I reminisced about the time when we vowed to be together to celebrate every win and loss together. That probably didn't count anymore.I pulled in front of the bar where other cars were parked. From the amount of luxurious cars in the parking lot, it was clear that this wasn't an average bar. As I approached, loud music resounded from the entrance. Light flashed in different colors, temporarily brightening things around me.I stepped inside the bar. It was more like a club than a bar. There were so many people in the middle of the bar dancing and pushing their bodies together. I was led to a private booth by a waiter dressed in a black shirt and trousers.“Man!” David stood when he saw me. He was in a white button-down, his suit jacket placed on the side. He held a glass of drink in

    Lydia I adjusted on my seat leaning out to hear the report. He pushed the brown envelope to me. “What did the report say?” I asked, looking down at it without touching it. Fear has begun to crawl into my skin with the look on the doctor's face. He wasn't smiling. He just held a solemn look on his face. I had a bad feeling about this. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. I picked up the envelope without opening it. The name of the hospital and the address were in one corner of it. “Her kidney has become bad,” he stated. “We knew this before,” I replied. We knew it from birth. It was what we talked about earlier. He shook his head as if to tell me what he meant. This time was different. “You have to understand that this is not the end of the world. With the fear in your eyes, I will advise that you hold yourself as I tell you this.” He continued, and I nodded a bit too briskly, urging him to carry on. “Melanie will need a kidney transplant.” My world stopped, my ey

    Lydia I stepped out of the room; the nurse stepped in after I did.Standing in front of the closed door, I smirked. I loved the effect I was having on him. I could see and feel him trying to fight it off. Meeting in the hospital was not planned, and I don't care why he was here or what he was here for. All that mattered was the fact that I had an opportunity to get closer to him and get into his skin.I walked down the hallway. I needed to get food for Melanie and have spent enough time away from them.I took large strides as I walked back to the room. My phone rang, a call from mom. She sounded worried. “I'm close,” I said. I saw Daniel, Mason’s P.A., in the reception. He must be here for Mason. I was grateful I didn't see Mason while walking back. Liam sprang into my hand when I opened the door; I held the flask far from him so that it wouldn't pour anything. I picked him up and walked forward. Melanie was seated on the bed. I dropped Liam close to the bed; he walked to th

    Mason“What do you mean it's your sister that is ill? Then why did you tell me you were ill?” I asked Daniel as we walked down the hallway. “You ended the call before I could speak fully. I'm sorry for wasting your time.” He came to me at the receptionist. The nurse couldn't find him earlier because it wasn't Daniel that was hospitalized, but his sister. She was undergoing surgery, which had been in operation for the past ten hours. “It's fine.” It wasn't his fault. I should have listened to him before ending the call. “Why didn't you ever mention that your sister was sick? I had no idea,” I stared.We did not just have an employee and employer relationship. “Well, I didn't want to bother you with my problems," he said. “You should,” I said, and he turned sharply at me. As though he didn't expect to say that, “I want to know what's going on with you.”“Is Mr. Woods extending care to me?” He asked and I glared at him.“You don't have to stay or come. I'm already sorry that I hav

    Mason“You want a chocolate bar?” I asked, and he shook his head. “It's for my sister. She is sick.” He said, a sad look crept into his face as he said this.I looked around him; he was alone; it's not right to have a little boy his age walk around in the hospital, so I asked, “Are you alone? Where's your mom?”“She's around somewhere,” he said this time, his eyes darted from side to side. “I can get your sister chocolate if you want,” I offered, but he refused.“Mom said never to accept things from strangers.” I smiled. He wasn't just any dumb kid, although it hurt that I was the stranger in this case. “You should have gone out with your mom; it's wrong for a little child to walk alone. I'll take you to your mom.” I said. He shook his head. “I'm not a little child; I can find my way,” he turned about to walk away but then paused. He slowly turned to me, his lips pressed into a thin line, his hand on his jaw. “You look like her," he said. “Who?” “My sister. Maybe some other time
