Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 3

Stella has just left the office when she spotted Ursula stepping out of a car.

Yorick's assistant, Orion, was at the ready, holding the door open for her as she handed him a few shopping bags.-

"Distribute these among the secretaries, will you?"

Her demeanor screamed of a lady of the manor.

Orion, ever respectful, took the bags, "Thank you, Ms. Larkin."

Ursula offered a soft nod in acknowledgment and turned, her gaze meeting Stella's across the distance.

Stella's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ursula paused for a second before she approached Stella with a tone as soft as an elder sister's, "Star."
