Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

She just took a quick look upstairs to ensure Miranda was safe before heading back to the room. Both Elian and Sebastian had noticed the girl.

Sebastian didn't ask any questions. But Elian spoke up, "Who's she? Why is she living with you?"

Lavinia, though in her forties, was as lively as any twenty-something outside of work, where she was known for her no-nonsense attitude. Perhaps it was because she hadn't been weighed down by marriage or time like many others, keeping both her spirit and appearance youthful. She was a pro at keeping up with the latest trends.
