Chapter 120: Plans and Destinations

"WHY ARE you here?" Mason asked as soon as I entered his office.

"I missed you," I said sweetly, smiling, though it quickly faded when he just stared at me, frowning.

"Am I not allowed to come here if I want to? I'm your accounting consultant."

Despite my excuse, Mason just raised an eyebrow at me.

He didn't answer. Instead, he turned his attention back to the documents on his desk.

I let out a small huff of disbelief. Honestly, he can be really infuriating. I came to visit him, yet he might as well push me out the door. Well, I'll see him again tomorrow during his company's board meeting.

On to the next destination, Sapphire.

"WHAT ARE you doing here?"

Like Mason, Haze asked the same thing when I visited the Greensmith Medical Hospital. He was wearing a brown three-piece suit, and though his hair was a bit messy, it somehow suited him.

Haze is undeniably attractive. That much is a given-and the reason he's been a ladies' man for as long as I can remember.

"Oh, come on. That's the second time I've heard that today." I couldn't help but feel irritated. "Does nobody want to see me?"

He just smirked at me while adjusting his sleeves. He seemed to have something urgent to do, but unlike Mason, he looked ready to entertain me anytime. Maybe that's what politics taught him-social skills and good communication.

"I'm just surprised. With how busy you are, you made time to come here?" His phone vibrated, but he declined the call and slipped it back into his pocket. "You're up to something, aren't you?"

I smirked. As expected of him, he sensed that I had an ulterior motive for coming here. I thought Mason would ask the same, but he seemed too burdened by the world to care.

"Secret," I whispered in his ear, patting him on the shoulder. "How's Harriette?"

"I don't know. She's probably fine, sitting around somewhere, drinking coffee," he replied sarcastically.

I just shrugged. "How about Evangeline?"
