Chapter 383 Ms. Storm, Be Careful!


'Is that so?'

Alaric was head over heels for her, and she was totally into him too. This kinda mess shouldn't be happening, right?

"I hope I'm just trippin. Ever since Marigold passed, I've been on the edge, like, constantly overthinking," Stellan muttered.

"When someone kicks the bucket right in front of you, it's gonna mess with your head. It's normal; you'll bounce back in a few days," Rowena reassured her.

Stellan nodded.

Rowena hung out with Stellan all afternoon, sipping coffee. As the sun started to set, Stellan suddenly said, "The funeral's probably wrapping up. Alaric should be home tonight. I gotta jet." Rowena replied, "Alright, just don't start another fight."

"I know, I won't," Stellan promised.

After leaving the café, Stellan rummaged through her bag and pockets for her phone, but it was MIA. Did she leave it at the office?

Stellan facepalmed. She'd been so scatterbrained lately, not knowing what she was doing half the time. So, she drove back to the office to grab her phone, only to find Tommy still grinding away at his desk. Didn't he go to the funeral too?

Had it already ended? If so, was Alaric already home?

"Ms. Storm," Tommy greeted her with a nod.

"Why are you back? Is the funeral over?" Stellan asked.

"Not yet," Tommy replied, "Silas remembered some work that needed doing, but he couldn't leave, so I came back."
