When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 8

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?”

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