Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 149

After parting ways with Susanna, Stella had barely set foot in her studio when Idris sent over all the details on Jaxon's mystery woman.

Turned out she was indeed from Nocturne Hues. Back there, she claimed to be serving the VIP rooms, complete with an address and phone number.

Just as she was about to head back to her office, Tabitha stopped her in her tracks, "Boss, I called you three times. Why didn't you pick up?"

"Phone was on silent. What's up?"

Stella was notoriously averse to overtime, a trait she maintained since the inception of her studio. Tabitha was well aware that their boss was, in fact, quite the slacker. Her instances of staying late were few and far between. "That Cloudia stopped by."

Stella was speechless.

Cloudia? Again?

Seemed like she needed to stir up trouble for the Larkin family, or else Cloudia would be constantly bugging her.

And she still refused to sign the disownment agreement.

How utterly annoying!

"How long has she been here?"

Tabitha responded, "Been waiting for you for two hours."

That she had the patience to wait this long must be due to Ursula's antics. Recalling Ursula's taunts over the phone, Stella couldn't help but snicker!
