Mason immediately put on an innocent expression. "What kind of report is it, General?"
A faint smile slowly appeared on Asher's face.
Unfortunately for Mason, it was not a friendly smile. "Everything this lady told me..."
He tapped the report lightly. "...turned out to be true."
His sharp gaze landed directly on Mason. "Do you have anything you'd like to say?"
For a brief moment, Mason's pupils contracted. However, he quickly regained his composure.
He shook his head before looking toward Danielle. "I won't say anything."
He smiled bitterly.
"But, I'd like to say one thing to Danielle. If you still have even a little conscience left, then tell General the truth."
Danielle slowly raised her head. Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I..."
She hesitated. "I do have a confession to make."
Asher raised an eyebrow. "But before that..."
She looked toward Mason. "...I'd like to have a private conversation with him."
Asher frowned slightly. "Be quick."
