Betrayed Spotlight

Mason walked back into the restaurant, his mind still on Sarah and the Silas man, who had taken her away. He forced himself to focus as he approached the table where Diana Han was waiting for him.

Diana was the heiress of the Han Family, the second largest business family in Wuhan city. She was beautiful in the way that rich women often were - polished, perfect, and completely artificial.

"Mason, there you are," Diana said with a bright smile as he sat down. "I was starting to worry that you had left me."

"Sorry about that," Mason said, picking up his wine glass. "Business call."

Diana leaned forward, her hand reaching across the table toward his. "You work too much. You should learn to relax."

Mason pulled his hand away before she could touch him, pretending to reach for his napkin. Diana’s touch made his skin crawl, just like others.

"The merger with your father’s company," Mason said, steering the conversation back to business. "Has he made a decision?"

Diana pouted. "Do we have to talk about work? We’re having such a nice dinner."

Mason’s jaw tightened. This dinner was only happening because he needed Han Industries to agree to the merger. It was a business deal worth billions, and Diana’s father had specifically requested that Mason handle the negotiations personally.

"The merger is why we’re here, Diana," Mason said coolly.

"Is it?" Diana asked, her voice turning flirtatious. She leaned forward more, her hand moving toward his arm. "I think you’re here because you missed me."
