is with her.”

Oscar escorted Stephanie to the entrance of the residential complex and finally updated her on Molly’s situation, pointing out that there was no need to worry about Molly.

Standing outside the car, Stephanie peered through the window at Oscar’s handsome face and his deep eyes, clear and seemingly holding not

secrets.

Oscar appeared unflinchingly comfortable under her scrutiny, meeting her gaze without hesitation.

After a tense standoff of three minutes, Stephanie declared abruptly, “I’m going back,” and turned towards the residential area.

The white Bentley remained parked, silent and unmoving, until Stephanie disappeared from view. Ten minutes later, lights flickered to life in Room 402 of the apartment. Oscar snapped out of his reverie, his eyes momentarily lowered before he started the engine and drove away.

The woman from Room 402 is weird…”

Two elderly women, who had just finished their workout, entered the elevator as they chatted animatedly.

“Yeah, I noticed too. She doesn’t seem to enjoy conversing with others. Bernice, do you think she’s someone’s sugar baby?”

Stephanie lifted her gaze expressionlessly towards them, but they were engrossed in their conversation, completely ignoring her presence.
