Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Hello 448

Chapter 448

So, Tanya wanted to drag me down with her, huh?

Lena shrugged, grabbing a cup and filling it with water. "Nothing major. Just told me to file a report and cooperate with the investigation." She took a sip, then smirked. "So, how'd your little face-off with Tanya go?"
