Chapter 2092

No sooner had she hung up with Dave than she heard a noise outside.

Continuing her chat, she wandered over to open the door.

And there, like a scene straight out of a movie, stood Beck, a cigarette dangling from his lips, its smoke weaving mysteries around him. What was he thinking?

Stella froze, words deserting her, baffled by his sudden appearance.

She ended the call.

Beck extinguished his cigarette, his gaze making a slow tour of her.

Stella's back was slick with nervous sweat, wondering if he had caught that last bit of her conversation.

After what felt like an eternity, Beck finally turned to leave, "Maja wanted to see you. She's on the afternoon flight."

Stella's mouth opened and closed, still at a loss for words, but she followed him.

Arriving at Beck's mansion, Stella realized the guest was Maja, not one of Beck's girlfriends as she had feared.

Entering the living room, she saw Maja engrossed in a video game, an idle controller suggesting Beck had been playing too.
