Chapter 40: Confrontation and Surprise
Sarah sat in Mason’s office, looking around at the expensive furniture and large windows.
The office had floor-to-ceiling windows that showed the entire city below. Sarah could see other tall buildings, busy streets with tiny cars, and people walking around like ants. It was a view that reminded her of just how powerful Mason was.
She had been waiting for fifteen minutes now, and her anger was growing stronger with each passing second. Her hands were clenched tightly in her lap, and she kept thinking about Antonio’s desperate face and bitter words.
Finally, the office door opened and Mason walked in. He was wearing a perfect black suit that looked like it was made specifically for him, and he looked like he had just come from an important meeting.
Mason didn’t even glance at Sarah when he entered. He walked straight to his desk with confident steps and sat down in his large leather chair, opening his laptop like she wasn’t even there. The sound of his fingers hitting the keyboard filled the quiet office.
"Mason," Sarah said firmly, trying to keep her voice steady. "We need to talk."
Mason continued typing on his laptop without looking up. His fingers moved quickly across the keys, and the clicking sound was the only response she got. "I’m busy, Sarah. Can this wait?"
Sarah felt her anger boiling over like water in a pot. "No, it cannot wait. I just came from meeting Antonio."
Mason’s fingers stopped moving on the keyboard for just a moment, but he still didn’t look at her. The silence in the room was heavy and uncomfortable.
"He told me someone bought Diamond," Sarah continued, her voice getting stronger. "He told me he was fired and lost everything. Do you know anything about this?"
Mason finally looked up from his laptop, but his expression was cold and unreadable. His dark eyes showed nothing, like looking into a wall. "I told you I would handle it. Didn’t I?"
