I clenched my fists, holding back my anger. The waiter froze, shocked at what he was seeing. He reached out to take off my mask.
“President Monroe, you can’t do this. He’s really your….”
Cassian suddenly wrapped his arm around Isla’s and gave me a disgusted look.
“Forget it, Isla. Is he even worth a million? Let’s go eat. Only a lonely, unwanted man would come to a place like this at night. I wouldn’t sit in that private room even if it were free.”
Isla’s face softened a little.
“Alright, whatever you say.”
“Tell your boss to throw him out. Monroe Group will cover the breach fee. Otherwise, this bar won’t stay open much longer.”
She gave the order and walked away without looking back.
I watched as she and Cassian walked off, their hands held tightly together, their heads close. My heart turned completely cold.
The bar owner came rushing over to the private room after hearing what happened. He was an old friend and furious, cursing Isla for acting like that. He couldn’t understand why I didn’t just take off the mask and make them lose face.
“Would it make any difference if I did?” I said quietly.
He was silent for a long time before letting out a sigh.
