Chapter 1549:
With a tense set to his jaw, he stepped between them, subtly blocking Mason's view.
He shot Carol a look, his voice low but urgent. “Forget it. There's no need to apologize. Let's just leave.”
Carol, momentarily thrown, stared at him. Wasn't he the one who suggested they should apologize?
She squared her shoulders and thrust the bouquet at Mason, holding his gaze with icy composure. “We're
already here, so we might as well see this through. Leaving now would just be rude.”
The instant Mason spotted the white lilies, his expression soured, shadows gathering across his face.

He bit back his anger, letting out a derisive huff. “Good thing you're pretty damn good-looking. Otherwise, |
wouldn't even waste my breath. Daniela and Cedric really screwed up this time—don’t think I'll just let it slide.
But...”
Mason's stare roamed over her, hungry and unashamed. Nikolas immediately stepped forward again, blocking
Mason's view with a protective glare.
Mason only laughed, eyes glittering with lewd intent. “But if you and Daniela both spend the night with me,
maybe I'll think about forgiving her.”
Nikolas was livid, words already on the tip of his tongue.
But Carol shot him a sideways grin, her tone light and wicked. “Is that so? Well, | might need to give your offer
sthought.”
Nikolas whipped around, stunned. “Carol, what are you saying?”
She tilted her head, her smile never faltering. “Here's an idea. How about you let Daniela off the hook? She’s not
cut out for this sort of thing. How about | step in for her and see if | can give you what you really need?”
Mason's eyes brightened, greedy anticipation replacing his sour mood. His hands were useless, but the rest of
him was more than ready for action. Letting someone like her slip through his fingers? Now that would be a
damn shame.

“Deal!” Mason barked, waving off the two women sitting at his side. Then he fixed Nikolas with a look of open
hostility. “You too. Get lost. Don’t ruin my fun.”
Nikolas tightened his grip on Carol’s hand, refusing to move. “You're coming with me, Carol.”
Regret gnawed at Nikolas. If he’d known how things would turn out, he never would have dragged Carol into this
mess.
Carol adored Daniela, treating her as if they were family. She always went the extra mile for Daniela without a
second thought.
With urgency in his voice, Nikolas called out, “Carol, cwith me. Let's get out of here.”
Carol met his gaze and let a sly smile cross her lips. “You're not leaving? I’m warning you—you might not be able
to handle what comes next.”
Nikolas clung to her hand, desperation showing. “Don’t do this, Carol. Stay with—"
But Carol slipped free, fixing her attention on Mason. “If he wants to stick around, that’s on him.”
Mason's eyes lit up, excitement practically radiating from him. “Oh, this is going to be wild. Let's give Nikolas a
taste of what real indulgence looks like.”
A playful laugh escaped Carol. “Indulgence, huh? I'll give you a night you won't forget.”
