116 UNYIELDING RESENTMENT

ARIEL’S POV

Andre was still standing behind me and Mason, expecting an answer from the both of us, I’d say. He didn’t have knowledge of our scheme, and I wasn’t planning to tell him. Everything will be revealed once the plan has been carried out. I was just picturing how things would be after that.

“So, can the both of you please tell me this plan you’re talking about?” Andre asked, his eyes fixing on the both of us. He would glance at Mason, and then he’d do the same to me.

“Wow,” was what Andre said before glancing at me. “Is this true, Ariel?”

“Why are you asking her?” Mason queried him right away. “Don’t you believe me?”

Andre glanced at Mason and ignored him, turning back to me. “You’re going to give me an answer, or what?”

“What Mason said was true.” I lied as well. “We were only talking about business.

Andre slowly turned to him. “What do you think I was thinking?”

“What kind of question is that?” Mason retorted. “You were acting like a cop or something. Investigating us like we were carrying out a crime.”

Andre looked at him for a moment, and then he shook his head as he said, “No, I wasn’t.”
