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."

When the Larkins had brought her back, they mentioned Ursula was older by just an hour.

Her tender voice was for Orion's benefit. But her eyes, locked on Stella, were full of challenge.

As she drew closer, Ursula's voice dropped to a whisper, "You're his fiancée, yet he has me come to his company. What does that tell you about your place?"
