When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 8

Gina approached a VIP room and knocked.

A man pecked out, visibly disappointed. “Was hoping Mr. Jackson was here.”

His gaze shifted, eyeing Gina and Aria with a lewd sparkle. “Hey beauties, why don’t you join us for a drink?”

Gina, cool and straight to the point, said. “You’re the one spreading lies about me online. Right, Mason Greene?”

Mason, caught off guard, replied irritably. “What’s it to you?”

Aria, fuming, retorted, “It’s about her, how could it not be?”

Doubtfully, he asked. “You’re Gina?”

Aria lashed out, “You don’t even know her and you’re slinging shit about her online, you asshole!”

Mason crossed his arms defiantly, feigning ignorance. “Rumors? What rumors?”
