Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 57

Stella had just stepped out the door when her phone buzzed. It was Tabitha, reminding her not to forget some document.

Stella remembered, the document was still in her room.

"Ronald, you go ahead, I gotta grab a document. Or, if you're not in a rush, wait for me?" she said, releasing Ronald's arm and sprinting back to the house. Ronald watched her bounding figure with a resigned smile, the corners of his mouth lifting in an affectionate grin.

"Still as scatterbrained as ever."

Idris, observing Stella's disappearing silhouette, remarked, "Well, she used to not worry about a thing, but now she's the boss. She's learning to be responsible." As Ronald heard the term "the boss", his fondness deepened.

"My little girl's all grown up."

Idris nodded, "She sure has."

They got into the car.

Ronald glanced at his wristwatch, "Have the butler arrange another ride for her. We'll head out now."

"Sure thing."

Idris started the engine and dialed the house's internal line to arrange transportation for Stella.
