Chapter 3

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 narrowed her gaze.

Olivia paused, then walked toward her. “Stefi.”

Her voice was sweet, almost like a kind big sister.

When Stephanie had first been brought into the Hart family, they’d mentioned that Olivia was only an hour older than her.

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

And, the challenge in Olivia’s eyes was unmistakable.

As Olivia got closer, her voice dropped, almost a whisper. “You’re his fiancée, but he wants me here in his workplace. Tell me, what does that mean?”

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.

She quickly smoothed over the smugness, but her eyes narrowed with cold fury.
