“Mason, it’s not his fault. If he had a choice five years ago, he wouldn’t have hurt me either.” Anastasia sighed.
“I don’t know how he managed to gain your forgiveness, but… my heart aches for you.” It was spelled out in Mason’s eyes too, just how much sympathy he had for her.
“Thank you, Mason, but I’ve come out on top now. Oh, let me congratulate you for joining Bourgeois!” Anastasia raised her glass.
Mason sighed. “We’ll be there at your wedding ceremony. I wish you well, always.”
“What about you? Are you married?” Anastasia asked out of concern for her friend.
Mason glanced at her before chuckling bitterly. “No. I haven’t found the right one.”
The only woman he had ever liked was seated in front of him right now. Back then, his sister refused to let him go after her and did everything she could to stop him. This led to Anastasia working for QR Group and him moving to a different country, and they fell out of contact as a result.
“There’s no rush. You’re still young. You’ll find someone,” Anastasia said reassuringly.
“I hope so too, but I’ll leave it up to fate. There’s no point trying to force things.” Mason picked up the card and glanced through it again. “You wrote this, right? I recognize your handwriting.”
“Yup!”
“Your handwriting still looks as amazing as ever.” He looked up at the woman in front of him, and affection filled his eyes once more.
“Did I you know? If it hadn’t been for my sister coming between us, I would’ve tried to date you, and we might’ve….”
Mason was halfway through his sentence when he heard someone with a deep voice calling out, ‘Sweetheart!”
Anastasia looked up at the man approaching them and she got a little. nervous. Why is he here?
However, she recalled that he was the one who gave Adriana her orders, so it was. only natural that he would be the first to know where she was and who she was with.
He probably heard what Mason had been trying to say, because otherwise, he would not have used such a mushy term in public.
