Chapter 43

More desirable than a million dollars

The office was filled with silence once again for a few moments until Mason suddenly laughed loudly, startling Dean and making him jump in surprise. “Bryan is a very attractive man, isn’t he,” Mason remarked with a chuckle as he wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. “Of course he would have an interest in a lady! He’s always flirting when we are out, drinking.” “Yeah…?” Dean responded quietly before he continued, “So… Who do you think he’s serious about right now?” An intense expression covered Mason’s face as he stared directly at Dean without looking away, furrowing his brows as he asked, “You have a daughter, right?Melina… Haha, is this about her?”

As he was leaving, Mason chuckled and shook his head with amusement before replying,” You’re a strange man, Dean.”
