Chapter 289

These past few days had been particularly exhausting.

Three days passed before the results of the Innovate Group advertisement came out, leaving Stephanie anxious and waiting. As soon as she returned to her room at 402 from her trip, she collapsed into bed, her mind a chaotic mess, filled with a sense of wanting to escape.

She wondered. Who exactly is Lucy? What if I can’t land the Innovate Group ad? Why did she make me participate in the ad audition? And why was I told to stay away from Vincent!

These questions and more tormented her mind, turning into nightmares that felt like endless mazes with no way out.

“Don’t do things you shouldn’t, and stay away from those men because I don’t like it.”“

She jolted awake, lying flat on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She felt sluggish, and Dominick’s voice echoed in her head. It was low and grumbling, filled with irritation, just like when he used to get mad at her.

Dreaming of her life in Wellington Villa surprisingly made her nostalgic.

“Achoo!” A cold wind had blown in, making her shiver. She quickly got up, grabbed a thick coat, and wrapped it around herself. She guessed that the cold had woken her up.

Stephanie hurried to shut the window tightly. Looking out, she saw that the streetlights in the neighborhood below were lit. It was already evening.
