City of Sin - Chapter 23

Mason

A tall woman with skin the color of hot chocolate came out of the building. She stared at me with her deep brown eyes. I instantly felt a little less cold. I turned back to the speaker system and pressed the number for Carter's apartment again. Bee had crawled under my skin. And right now, she was the only girl I could think about. I wasn't used to feeling like this. She liked making me wait. I never waited for anyone. I needed to fuck her and move on.

The woman tapped me on the shoulder.

Fuck, not right now."What can I do for you, sugar?"

"Sugar? Wow. Innovative."

I laughed. "Can I help you? I'm kind of in the middle of something right now."

"The pictures don't do you justice. I'm Kendra."

"Pictures?"

"You're Max Caldwell's son right? The infamous Mason Caldwell? I've heard a lot about you."

I looked down at her. I didn't have time to play games right now. "What exactly are you referring to?"

"Your side business? See, I have certain needs. And I was hoping you could help me out?"

I didn't want to talk business right now. "My services aren't free, sugar." I pressed the button on the call box again. "Fuck, is this thing even working?"

"God, it's true? You're disgusting."

"What?" I turned around and looked at the woman again. "Oh, fuck, are you friends with Bee or something? Did she send you down here to talk to me? Just let me up to see her."

"It killed her when she found out her fiancé was cheating on her. And you helped that happen." She poked me in the middle of my chest.

"I don't even know who her ex-fiancé is. All I know is that I need to talk to Bee. In private. So what do I need to do to make that happen? I can get you whatever you want. Just name it."

"What is wrong with you? She's been through enough. She doesn't need someone like you in her life right now. Just leave her alone."

I can't leave her alone. I can't stop thinking about her.I ran my hand through my hair. "This whole thing is just a misunderstanding."

"Do you or do you not give your father's new employees certain perks for signing with MAC International?"

I laughed. That was an interesting spin on it. "I don't work for my father. I work for an ad agency across town. Finance isn't really my thing. Come on, sugar, just let me up to see Bee."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Look, I like her, okay? We had an amazing date until she just ran off in a taxi without any explanation. I'm not trying to mess with her life. I just want to talk to her."

She stared at me for a second. "She doesn't want to see you. I'm sorry."

"Okay. I respect that." I stood there, staring at her.

"If you respect that, then why aren't you walking away?"

Because I'm going to follow you back into the building.This woman was infuriating. "Do you work at Blue Media too? You look familiar."

"No. I work at Kruger Advertising with Bee."

"Oh. Never mind." I turned away and smiled. That's all I needed to know. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contact list. I pressed the call button and held my phone to my ear as I hailed down a taxi.

"Vargas."
