Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 629

Susanna's stomach growled so loudly she was sure the whole house could hear. Lately, she'd been doing everything she could to avoid running into Hull— especially around mealtimes.

She'd tell herself, "Just go downstairs and grab something to eat. You're not even that hungry, you probably won't eat much anyway."

But then she'd wait a little longer and bam-she was starving.

She tried to time her trips to the kitchen for when Hull was out running errands, but today, his car didn't seem to be going anywhere.

Didn't he have work to do or something?

She thought about heading down anyway, but the idea of bumping into him made her hesitate.

As she stood there, caught between hunger and awkwardness, a knock rattled her door.

"Susie, Boss wants you in his office," Barnaby's booming voice called out from the hallway.

Susie? Since when did they call her that? Star was the only one who ever called her Susie, and that was their thing.

Now everyone was just going for it?

She muttered under her breath, too annoyed to care.

Outside, Barnaby didn't seem to notice how irritated he'd made her he just kept calling out.
