Tony glanced in the rearview mirror. “Mr. Jackson, where to?”

The man in the back seat had his eyes closed, his Adam’s apple shifting as he spoke in a deep, magnetic voice. “Flavors Bistro.”

Dawn only brought Mason with her tonight. They sat together in a private room near the inner corner, while across the table sat Miles and two of his managers.

There was only one woman at the table.

At first, Miles was polite, mindful of Dawn’s position.

But as the drinks flowed, the tone of the dinner shifted. After a few rounds, he carried his glass over to the empty seat beside her, smiling as he leaned close. “Ms. West, Roxanne’s been back in the country for years. Why didn’t you invite her to join us tonight?”

Dawn kept smiling, but her eyes stayed cold.

“Why? Mr. Sutton wants to talk to Roxanne instead?”

“No, no, of course not.’

Miles waved his hands quickly. “Your sister doesn’t seem nearly as fun as you. I’ve always preferred the company of younger ladies.”

Their glasses clinked with a crisp sound.

Dawn raised an eyebrow and downed her drink in one go.

As Miles scooted closer, Mason stood up. “Mr. Sutton, this isn’t appropriate. You should return to your seat.”

“Who asked for your opinion?”

Miles scowled. “I’m having a private talk with Ms. West. You all can step outside.”

He turned to his two managers. “Take this assistant with you. Wait at the door!”

“You-”

Mason was about to protest, but Dawn subtly shook her head.

The man might be sleazy, but he wasn’t truly dangerous. With Stonewarden Group’s influence, he wouldn’t dare touch her without consent.

Mason clenched his fists, then reluctantly followed the others out.

The room fell quiet.

Dawn picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a full glass.

“I’ve heard, Mr. Sutton, that you’re planning to move into another market. Since your shares in Dreammaker Studios aren’t that large, why not sell them to me as a favor?”

Her tone was calm and deliberate, her eyes locked on him.

Those clear eyes carried a trace of charm, innocent yet alluring.

With a face like hers, no man could easily refuse.

Miles had already lost focus. The alcohol made him bold, and he leaned even closer, nearly pressing against her chair.

“Ms. West, if you want my shares, that’s fine. I could even give them to you … but there’s one condition.”

The closeness of his breath made Dawn’s stomach turn, but she feigned confusion. “What condition?”

“That we become friends.”

He reached out and played with a strand of her hair.

“You know how valuable those shares are. Even if I did nothing with them, they’d still earn me quite the profit each year. Giving them to you as a gift … I’d say that’s pretty sincere, don’t you think?”

“Hmm?”

Dawn looked up, feigning a dazed expression. “Aren’t we already friends?”

Her tone made it sound like his gesture was unnecessary.

“The market price is the market price,” she said, grinning as she gave his shoulder a hard slap- so hard he almost toppled over. “I’ll pay full value. No one’s losing out tonight!”

Miles blinked.

Where did this woman get so much strength?

Before he could react, Dawn poured him another full glass and shoved it toward him like an old buddy. “Drink up, my friend! We don’t leave till we’re drunk!”

Miles stared at her, veins pulsing at his temples.

What kind of woman was this?

She drank like it was water.

Grinding his teeth, he decided he couldn’t back down now. Tonight, he had to win her over somehow.

He downed the drink, then slowly let his hand slide over the back of her chair–inch by inch- until it was almost at her waist.

Then she suddenly turned her head. Miles froze, startled.

Dawn’s eyes were flushed red, her cheeks pink from the alcohol. She looked completely drunk. “You’re my best friend, right? You wouldn’t take advantage of me, would you?”

Miles stammered. “O–of course not!”

“Good.”

Her gaze locked on his, warm and trusting. “I believe you.”

—

Outside, Mason stood motionless, tension showing between his brows.

The two managers whispered to each other, their words growing bolder. “So what if she’s Stonewarden’s heiress? In the end, she still has to please Mr. Sutton if she wants those shares. Been quiet in there for a while now… maybe she’s already-”

Mason’s voice cut in, cold as ice. “Say that again.”
