Ten minutes earlier...
Mason stood alone on the rooftop of the Harrington Tech building, the early morning breeze brushing gently across his face.
He tightened his grip on the balcony rail, trying to steady his racing mind.
The event of the day weighed heavily on his shoulders, but more than that, Anastasia's cold attitude lately left him uneasy.
'I will show her to the world after this presentation... once the deal is sealed,' Mason thought, a faint smile curling his lips.
The thought of Anastasia calmed him a little. 'She deserves the truth. She deserves to know everything... about me, about the Harringtons, and the dangers surrounding us.' Mason thought with more determined look on his face.
Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps snapped Mason out of his thoughts.
He turned slightly to see Nicholas walking toward him, hands in pockets, an arrogant smirk playing on his lips.
