Chapter 24 - New Job

"I cannot believe you, Mason Emerson King!" Kelsey heard a booming voice from outside her room. She slowly got up from the bed and grabbed the robe laying on the sofa chair. She wrapped the robe around herself and tightened the knot for she was only wearing a fitted crop top and short-shorts.

"How can you not tell us that you're getting married?!" The loud, yet gentle voice yelled once again which only brought Kelsey's curiosity to peak. She walked towards the door and leaned closer to it, placing her ears beside it. She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop but she couldn't help herself.

"Can we please talk about this in a calmly matter?" Kelsey heard Mason replied which seemed to only fired up the situation.

"Calmly matter?! We're talking about marriage here, Mason!"

"Ow." Mason muttered and Kelsey thought he was probably hit by the aggressive and angry woman. She couldn't hold herself anymore as she slowly opened the door and peeked through it. She could see a woman's beautiful figure with her back turned towards her and Mason's frustrated and annoyed face. The woman was holding him by the ear as he winced repeatedly and grabbed onto her hand to lessen the pain.

"If I didn't see the news online, I wouldn't even have found out that you are getting married. How can you not tell me?!" She continued to bicker.

"Ow, mom, you're really hurting me." Mason complained as she pulled on his ear tighter. 'Mom?' Kelsey thought as it registered in her mind. The woman right in front of her was no other than Mason's mother. From the looks of it, she didn't look too friendly. Kelsey couldn't help the gasp escaping her mouth and both Mason and his mother, Victoria, seemed to have heard her and turned their heads towards the door.

Kelsey caught a glimpse of her beautiful face. No wonder Mason and Ella looked like goddess. Their mother was incredibly gorgeous with her blue, captivating orbs, her wavy brunette hair, and her very defined cheekbones. Not to mention, she had an incredible figure.

She released Mason and he quickly rubbed his ear to eased the pain. The woman walked closer towards the door and Kelsey felt frozen in her spot. She couldn't moved her limbs as if she was struck by lightning. "Come out, sweetheart. I don't bite." She gently ordered waiting for Kelsey to come out.

Kelsey took a deep breath before opening the door and stepping out of it. She unconsciously placed a hand on her chest and bowed her head in respect. "Good morning, ma'am." She politely greeted and kept her head low. She was afraid that if she made eye contact, she was going to melt and die of hyperventilation.

Mason's mother placed her arms across her chest and studied the woman who was going to be marrying her son. She glanced at her from head to toe studying her with scrutinizing eyes. "You must be my son's fiancee. Kelsey Parker, is it?"

"Yes, ma'am." Kelsey anxiously answered with her head still bowed.

"I guess I'll get to know you more later at dinner." She announced causing Mason and Kelsey to whipped their heads towards her direction.

"Dinner?" Mason asked warily.

"Yes, dinner." She responded nonchalantly. "And your father and I decided to stay here at your penthouse for awhile." She declared and Mason shot her an irritating look.

"Mom! You can't do that! Besides, the house has been empty for two months. Or you can even stay with Ella. I'm sure she'll be happy to entertain you." He argued.
