"Thank you, Mr. Stone."
"Mr. Stone?" Dan came closer, sneering. "Since when have we been using surnames?"
I tried to steady my breathing, my insides feeling like they would crumble. The last thing I wanted was to set my eyes on him; it unleashed painful memories.
It wasn't the times I looked at him like he was the only man I loved, but the sight of him fucking another woman.
Disgust crawled through me. "What are you doing here?"
"Piper's mom secured a good deal for me, introduced me to some big shots. You know I have always wanted to work in RealHouse, but was never qualified, remember?"
How could I forget?
It was everything to him, but this was Midnight City, where the influential ones had more chances than those who worked hard.
"That's lovely."
"Aren't you happy for me? I mean... I know we're not together anymore, but the least you can do is show you are."
