Bella Green was suddenly startled, shrinking her neck as her brain quickly whirred. When did she provoke this man again?
Uh, it seems like she not only provoked him but also stirred things up seriously.
Today was a very important banquet, yet it turned into a soap opera because of her antics?
Bella Green instantly deflated, timidly looking at Mason Bennett, then suddenly grinned, her eyes narrowing to slits with her smile.
"Brother Mason, today’s incident was an accident, hahaha."
This sweet and soft call made Mason’s eyes tremble, the coldness in his gaze instantly dissipating, leaving only the smiling face of a youth in the dim light.
"Are the marks on Anna Green also an accident?" the man snorted coldly, but the chilling aura around him wasn’t as intense as before.
Bella Green was taken aback by his words. What marks?
After a while, she realized it wasn’t because she messed up his banquet that he was angry?
"Uh, I didn’t mean to see it, it’s just on the neck, easily noticeable," Bella said nonchalantly.
Her words made Mason’s face darken again, a flash of anger and disgust passing through his eyes.
This Anna Green, what kind of messy clothes does she usually wear, that such marks can be seen by her own younger brother!
He was just thinking about how to educate this little thing on the matter of look but don’t see, when the previously pitiful young girl suddenly raised her eyebrows, looking at him like a little beast with its fur bristled.
"How do you know her name so well?" Bella thought of this matter and got annoyed, gnashing her teeth.
Mason looked at her with an expression that suggested he was dealing with an idiot: "Is it strange for me to know the names of your family members?"
"Of course it’s strange, why I..." Bella froze mid-sentence, then glared angrily at him: "Have you been investigating me?"
Mason’s gaze was upright, not guilty at all: "It’s not really investigating, just getting to know you a bit."
"Getting to know a bit and you can remember her name so well?"
Mason was stunned, then looked at her quizzically: "It’s just a name, I have no problem with my memory, why can’t I remember it?"
Hearing this righteous and confident reply, Bella gritted her teeth for a long time, unable to find a counter-argument.
After a while, she looked at him warily, tentatively asking: "You, you haven’t taken a fancy to her, have you?"
"Ahhhhh!! Mason Bennett, let go of me."
Suddenly, her cheek was pinched hard by a large hand, the pain nearly making Bella jump. This man’s hand was ruthless, showing no mercy.
"Nonsense, you need a good lesson," the man said, applying more force.
As Bella’s eyes lit up with excitement, she barely had time to rejoice before the pain on her face made her cry out.
Seeing that she really was in pain, Mason couldn’t help but ease his grip a bit, pinching her cheek a couple more times before letting go.
Although he wore a facade of anger, he couldn’t muster any real rage inside.
Mason deliberately ignored the pleasure he felt from Bella being annoyed that he remembered another woman’s name.
Bella rubbed her cheek, ignoring the pain, and said brightly, "That’s right, you absolutely cannot fancy her, anyone but her. Speaking of which, those two ladies in your secretarial department are quite pretty."
The pleased Mason: "..." (ー`´ー)
Perhaps he should consider hiring two male secretaries...
