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?”

Realization dawned on Mason. He had believed Gina to be unattractive, reluctantly thought, I thought it would be embarrassing to claim I had been with Gina.

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?”

Internally smug, he thought, I posted that crap anonymously. How did they pin it on me? But really, what’s she gonna do about it?‘

“You’re still playing dumb!” Aria exploded, thinking, “Dragging a girl’s name through mud like that is fucking low. This man is a complete asshole.

Their argument caught the attention of the others in the room.

“Who’s there, Mason?” someone yelled out.
