Crossroads
Chapter 42
Chapter 42
After breakfast, Stephanie retreated to her bedroom, clutching her phone to catch up on the latest gossip about Jessica’s hickey…
“Dominick must have had a wild night with her…” she muttered to herself as she scrolled through Twitter, her expression a mix of
emotions.
Even Stephanie herself didn’t understand why she cared so much…
It was as if she were jealous.
“Wait, jealous?’ The thought stopped Stephanie in her tracks.
“How could I possibly be jealous? Dominick made it clear it was just a business arrangement…”
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her phone vibrated with a new notification. A greeting message on WhatsApp.
“Who’s this?” she murmured.
Stephanie’s brows furrowed as she stared at the screen. A man named Vincent had just added her.
Vincent seemed to be quite full of himself.
Stephanie simply ignored him, her face devoid of emotion.
Perhaps thinking she wouldn’t reply to him, Vincent quickly sent another message: [I’m Vincent Hayes.]
[Vincent, that profile picture of yours is really flamboyant.]
Stephanie immediately criticized him and saved his number.
Vincent replied: [Still better than your ‘Steph Force.’ Stephanie, your nickname lacks depth.]
StephForce shot back: [Vincent, did you come to me just to pick a fight because you’re bored?]
Stephanie thought her WhatsApp nickname was flawless, simple, memorable, and, most importantly, powerful.
When she saw Vincent’s name pop up, she was instantly reminded that Vincent had warned her not to delude herself, that Dominick could never like her, and that she was just a stand-in for Jessica…
The thought sank Stephanie deeper.
StephForce: [Vincent, I’m tied up right now. Don’t bother me unless it’s urgent, and it better be.] She quickly replied, ready to exit WhatsApp
Vincent responded: (Wait, Stephanie, I actually have something serious to talk to you
about!]
Stephanie hesitated, wondering what this unreliable Vincent could possibly have that was serious.
