Chapter 223
After Brielle hung up the phone, she stayed put, waiting.
It took Mason half an hour to come down, and when he saw her still there, his brow
furrowed in an instant, and he quickened his pace.
“Mr. Mason.” Brielle called out. “I’ve done my homework on your company, and I believe it
has the potential to be the investment world’s unicorn.”
In the financial world, there was a saying that the most crucial aspect of investing was to
back a “unicorn“-missing out on such a company posed a far greater risk than making a
mistake with a hundred others.
The term unicorn was thus a massive affirmation for any company, but evidently, Mason
didn’t need such affirmation. He even bypassed her and walked straight out of the
hospital.
Brielle had never encountered someone so impervious. Dorsey International had taken the
initiative to offer an investment, and it was one thing to refuse, but to show such aversion
was another.
Mason got into a taxi, and Brielle had no choice but to follow. “Mr. Mason.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMason raised his hand to his temple, clearly not expecting her to follow. “I’m off to a class
reunion. Are you sure you want to come along?”
Brielle pursed her lips, wary of losing this opportunity, not knowing when she’d get
another chance to speak with him. “After the reunion, could you spare me a few minutes,
Mr. Mason?”
Mason gave her a serious look, “Ms. Brielle, can you speak for Dorsey International?”
“Yes, anything I agree to in our conversation will definitely be in the contract.”
Mason glanced at her face, then seemed to give up resisting. “Then attend the reunion as
my date, and I’ll give you ten minutes afterward.” It wasn’t that Mason particularly disliked
Brielle: in fact, he admired her persistence.
Brielle nodded in agreement, relieved to have secured some time. Mason, however, stared
at the ointment she was clutching, his ears reddening in an instant. “Aren’t you going to
put that thing in your bag?”
Brielle had been so focused on discussing a partnership that she had completely forgotten
she had just come from the gynecologist. Following his gaze to her hand, the shape of the
medical. product was too suggestive, and she felt embarrassed having held it during their
entire conversation.
She quickly stowed it away in her bag, as if trying to release heat from every pore in her
body.
Mason also felt awkward and opened the taxi window. “The reunion I’m attending is with
high. school classmates. If you’ve been around Beaconsfield, you might know some people
there.”

Brielle thought he was just trying to ease the tension, but as they arrived, and she saw the
Dorsey Hotel a bad feeling washed over her.
Mason opened the door to the hotel and greeted everyone with a smile, “Sorry I’m late.”
The chatter among the people in the private room paused for a moment when they saw
him and then continued.
Brielle could tell in just a glance that Mason wasn’t popular among this crowd. As they got
closer and she saw the woman basking in everyone’s attention, Brielle’s expression
soured. It was Tessa Rowland.
Everyone knew Tessa’s status. From the moment she stepped into the room, they couldn’t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwait to put her on a pedestal. And Tessa was accustomed to such flattery, not showing the
slightest embarrassment.
That was until she saw Brielle, and her smile slowly drooped. “Brielle?” Her tone carried a
hint of disdain before she looked away.
Behind her stood Sophia, acting like a handmaiden, pouring water for Tessa and looking at
Brielle as if her gaze was poisoned.
Brielle hadn’t expected to encounter them here; if she had known, she would have waited
outside.
Sophia’s look also made her very uneasy, as if the Sophia she was facing now was very
different from the one she had known.
The others, sensing some history between Tessa and Mason’s guest, began to inquire.
“Mason, who is this? Your girlfriend?”
“I’ve never heard about Mason getting close to anyone.”
Mason pulled out a chair for Brielle, “A friend.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tessa let out a light laugh, “A friend or something more
intimate? Ms. Brielle’s reputation is quite the mess, isn’t it?”
