Stella's pupils narrowed. "Leonard?"

Leonard smiled faintly. "It's really not easy to get a meeting with you, Ms.

Cameron. Took me quite a bit of effort."

Stella glanced around, taking in her surroundings.

It wasn't some dim warehouse or basement, but rather what looked like a private villa-clean, bright, not a speck of dust in sight.

Several bodyguards in black stood stationed around the room.

Stella's gaze landed on Abby, who was lying unconscious on the floor not far away.

Stella managed to stay calm and looked directly at Leonard.

"So, Mr. Lerman, what exactly do you want with me? What's so important that you had to bring me all the way here?"

Leonard's tone was cool. "You really are a good actress, Ms. Cameron. Playing innocent suits you."

Stella didn't bother playing along. "You can question me a hundred times, Mr. Lerman. My answer won't change.
