Stella arrived at the restaurant twenty minutes early.

Yet, to her surprise, Foreman was already there, waiting for her.

She walked over. "How long have you been here?"

Foreman's deep gaze lingered on her face for a moment. He gave a subtle smile and stood to pull out her chair.

"Not long. I just got here myself."

After placing their orders, Stella couldn't help herself. "Foreman, about Antoney..."

At the mention of the name, Foreman's expression grew a shade heavier.

He nodded slightly. "Yes, it was Haynes. He's behind it."

Stella didn't look at all surprised.

Stella let out a cold laugh. "And if I refuse? After what he's done to Antoney and Abby, what's next-me?"

Foreman's face was solemn. "Star, Haynes would do anything for Rachel. It's just a studio. Until you're in a stronger position, don't go head-to-head with him."
