He had driven herself half–delirious but somehow still remembered to give that onest instruction.
Frowning, she sent a text to Mason.
A few minutester, the doorbell rang.
He showed up with a bottle of wine and a grin. “I figured you wouldn’t like the food around here. I almost picked something up, but then I thought you might’ve gone to bed already. Where’d you find this? Looks pretty good.”
“I didn’t buy it,” Dawn said as she calmly opened the lid. “Ethan sent it.”
Mason shut up.
His face stiffened just a little before he smiled again. “Ms. West, next time just let me handle it. It’s not worth bothering outsiders.”
Dawn nced at him but didn’t call him out.
Oliver had bought a whole spread, mostly dishes Dawn liked. It was heavy on seafood and vegetables.
She divided the seafood stew into two bowls and handed one to Mason.
“Did Christian agree to tour the factory tomorrow?”
“Yeah,” Mason replied as he poured her a ss of wine. “I’ve already made arrangements on my end too. You don’t need to worry.”
Dawn lifted her ss and knocked back the wine in one go. Over the past two years, she had be moreposed. Her sharp eyes shimmered with something unreadable.
“Keep an eye on Roxanne. I’ve got a feeling she’s going to pull something.”
“I got it.”
Mason had already stripped the skewers and piled the meat onto a te. He slid it over. “Eat it while it’s hot.”
Dawn was still preupied with tomorrow’s ns. After a couple of bites, she lost her appetite. She told Mason to take the rest and throw away whatever was left.

By the time she got cleaned up again, it was already midnight.
That guy… probably wasn’t running a fever anymore, right?
Dawn picked up her phone and hesitated, debating whether or not to send a message.
Forget it. They had drawn their lines clear. Why mess that up now?
She shut off her phone and ced the phone on the nightstand.
Lights off. Sleep.
Maybe it was the wine, but she slept like a rock that night.
By the time Mason arrived the next morning, she was already all dressed and ready.
“Let’s go.
Time to deal with Christian.”
Mason blinked. “I had room service send
you
breakfast.”

“Cancel it,” Dawn said, grabbing her purse. “The longer we drag this out, the worse it’ll get.”
After they left the hotel, Mason waited until they were in the car before calling Christian. The guy was clearly caught off guard but quickly named a time and ce.
“Ms. West, I still don’t really get it. Christian hasn’t worked with ourpany on any other projects, and that factory was originally approved by Ms. Roxanne. Why’s he treating us like we’re some VIPS? Do you think…”
“You think it’s a setup?”
“Yeah.” Mason nced at the rearview mirror and said seriously, “He’s got a nasty reputation. After yesterday, I really don’t think he’s a good guy.”
Of course he wasn’t. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had to take a loss just to get the factory back.
Dawn stared out the window and let out a faintugh.
“You know what we look like to him right now?”
“What?”
“Walking ATMs.”

She looked back inside the car. The sunlight outside caught her eyes, turning them sharp like ss. “We didn’t ask for anything, and we still donated a few valuable art pieces to his charity auction. With how those things usually go, the money ends up in someone’s personal bank ount. Of course he’s going to treat us well.”
Even if they were dumb enough to give even more? Who’d say no to that?
Mason gave a coldugh. “The rich in Hedonia really think they’re untouchable.”
“We can’t control everyone else, but you’d better keep a close watch. Make sure the money we donated actually follows protocol and ends up where it’s supposed to.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Half an hourter, the car pulled up in front of the factory.
Hedonia was a small ce. It didn’t take long to drive between cities.
What Dawn didn’t expect was that Christian had brought Roxanne with him, and on top of that, he had also invited Ethan toe check out the facility.
“Mr. Jackson didn’t have anything going on today,” Christian said, smiling. “So I figured I’d bring him along to take a look at the progress on our new products. Ms. West, you don’t mind, do you?”
Dawn nced at the man standing there. He looked wless in a crisp ck suit, clean–cut and elegant. If nothing else, he seemed to be fully recovered.
She gave a polite smile. “If you’re fine with it, I have no objections.”
Right after that, someone scoffed next to them.
Roxanne red coldly. “Stop acting like you’re so important.”
She didn’t say it loudly, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
Christian’s eyes shed with a warning re. Then he brushed it off like it never happened and waved everyone toward the entrance with a smile.
Dawn scanned the ce without changing expression. This little stage show…
It was going to be fun.
Stonewarden Group was a major yer worldwide. They had factories in almost every developed country. Hedonia had three industrial parks, and the one Roxanne had given away

was the top performer in terms of yearly output.
After Christian gave her that warning nce, Roxanne mostly kept quiet.
But those looks she kept shooting across the room? Pure hostility.
