Freya's POV
I kept my eyes fixed on my plate, desperate to avoid his penetrating stare, but Mack deliberately leaned forward, forcing me to meet his gaze with nowhere to hide.
Scrambling for composure, I tried to brush off the tension with a laugh. "I was only teasing you. Why did you have to take everything so seriously?"
"But I wasn't treating it as a joke." Mack's voice remained steady, those patient brown eyes never leaving my face. "So now it's your turn to share."
My stomach dropped. "Share what exactly?"
He paused thoughtfully, then spoke with devastating calm. "Let's skip the financial details - that's your business. What I want to know about is your heart. Tell me what drew you to Jasper Tristan in the first place. Do those feelings still exist? And besides me, who else is currently trying to win your affections?"
The questions hit me like a freight train.
