"Oh! There you are. Come on now, quick. Mr Grayson has been waiting for us." Alli skipped towards Mason and as usual, Oliver threw her a death glare.
"What's happening?" He asked.
"Stand with your hands behind you back and head dropped. Like a punished lad. He was waiting for you so that he could scold us." Alli flashed him the sweetest smile.
"Is this a joke to you, Miss Tanner?" Rafael slammed his palms over the wooden desk of his study. "You say you are going home, then you go somewhere else, hide such an important thing from us and take decisions by yourself."
"And we should report to you because?" Mason stated in a bored tone.
Oh no! This is going to turn ugly.
"Because I'm the fucking boss here, alright." He yelled.
Mason did a majestic eye roll, playing with the silver ring in his left ear. "I'm sorry but I don't work for anyone. As for Alli, you've agreed for an alliance. I thought you knew the meaning of that word."
"Jake deserved to know what was happening with his daughter." Rafael snarled.
"Like Vittoria deserved to know you're engaged? Is that the same logic you're talking about, boss?" Mason stressed over the word. Allegra scoffed in the most subtle manner.
Why is he so hell bent on provoking him?
My eyes went wide when they fell over Rafael's knuckles gone white and his hand balled into a fist shake with fury.
"What would have happened if I told Jake? He'd in turn tell you and we know how successful a history you have of protecting your people." Mason taunted.
That was it. Rafael lost all his control and lunged over him, landing a punch straight over his jaw. Mason didn't hold back either. He retaliated by hurling him into the wall.
"Stop it! Please!" I stepped forward but Oliver held me back, afraid that they'll accidentally hurt me.
"That's enough you two." He held Rafael back while Alli restrained Mason.
"That was too much, Mason." She whisper yelled but I heard her.
"You do know you're alive just because of Vittoria, don't you." Rafael spat, fiercely shrugging off Oliver's hand.
"Oh please shove those threats up your ass because I'm not fucking afraid of you."
"Mason please shut up already. And you too." I glared at both of them. "We don't have time to waste."
I swear my mind is going to explode. There was as it is so much work load today and after that, come home and handle these two testosterone fuelled beasts.
