Chapter 130 - 129. Sad Little Girls
Amber never thought sealing a brand deal would take so long. Maybe it was because it was a foreign brand, but they could still find some problems within the contract. Because of that, she only arrived home the day of the family dinner.
At least she still had time to stretch her legs and get ready, aside from hearing her attendants’ report.
"How’s Mason?" she asked from her spacious changing room.
"More or less the same, Miss. The staff had been whispering a lot about him being overly sensitive," one of the attendants who stayed back home while she was abroad reported from the door. "He looked especially angry if anyone mentioned the second young miss’s name."
Amber rolled her eyes. "For fuck’s sake--it’s been a month."
She knew Sarah had become bolder in tickling Mason’s nerves, but was losing control over Sarah truly enough to spiral him down? Amber had always seen Mason as a tyrant--cruel, but also steadfast. Looking at him like this, though...losing himself just because the subject of his obsession was taken away...
Maybe he had never been a tyrant; just someone pretending to be.
"He had been calmer for the last three days, however."
"Oh?" Amber narrowed her eyes. "Either he’s coming to his senses or plotting something even worse. What else?"
"As you ordered, we’ve been trying our best to block any attempt at separating the second young miss from her bodyguard," the attendant continued. "We also let the chairman side to know the truth about the bodyguard’s identity."
Ah...perhaps that was why Mason kept spiraling down. Amber sighed and shook her head in exasperation. "Did Father call her?"
"Not yet, Miss."
