Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 146: I Can’t Leave You Like This

"How many times are you going to ask me that?" I replied sarcastically, flashing a grin. "I'm not hiding anything from you... or maybe it's the opposite. Aren't you the one hiding something from me?"

Classic reverse psychology.

But honestly, it was the truth.

I'd known from the start how corrupt Simon was, but I suspected there was more beneath the surface.

From the contents of the SD card I'd hidden during my mission involving Senator Windwood, I'd learned disturbing truths.

I wouldn't be surprised if Simon had committed far worse acts to secure his position.

"Leave," Simon said sharply, glaring at me before motioning for me to exit his office.

I smirked wider at his reaction. He couldn't even answer a simple question. His guilt was as clear as day.

Just as I was about to deliver a sarcastic comeback, my phone buzzed with a message.

[Let's talk. Please.]

"Hah." I scoffed in disbelief as I read the text. It was from Mason.

Noticing Simon watching me intently, I turned on my heel and left his office.

It had been a while since Mason reached out. What could have prompted him to text me now?

Ignoring it, I left the hideout and headed to the company. There were meetings and documents waiting for me before I could finally rest.

"You can go home now, Rita," I told my secretary, glancing at the clock. "You've been working overtime for days. You deserve a break. I'll be leaving soon too." "But ma'am-"

"This is an order," I said with a genuine smile. "Your bonus has been sent to your account. Take the day off."

I smiled and shook my head as she left, her gratitude evident even
