Stephanie shot a quick glance at the luxury mall across the street. She pulled out her phone, and dialed Jennifer.

“The meeting’s pushed back two hours,” she said, her voice tight with purpose.

spree.

Chris shook his head, a bitter smile playing at the corners of his mouth. She always acted like she was above it all, but the second money was involved, all that pride went out the window.
