As soon as Stephanie stepped out of the building, she saw Olivia getting out of a car.

Chris’s assistant, Kevin Wright, opened the door for her. She handed him several shopping bags.

“Give these to the secretaries,” she instructed with a graceful nod.

Her posture exuded authority, like she owned the place.

Kevin took the bags with a respectful nod. “Thank you, Miss Hart”

Olivia gave a soft smile before turning, her eyes locking with Stephanie’s across the parking lot.

Stephanie knew that sweet tone was for Kevin’s benefit.

Stephanie’s expression didn’t shift. She stayed silent.

After a beat, she scoffed. “I’m his fiancée. And as long as I want, can visit here and even the Ashford family anytime. You where else can you go except here? Oh, right–meeting in the darkness like rats doesn’t count.”

Olivia’s face flickered with a mix of surprise and irritation.
