Chapter 105: A Familiar Stranger

Angela POV

By the time David dropped me off, it was already 10 PM. When I'm with the kids in Italy, I'd usually be getting them tucked in right about now, then catching up on work.

But tonight, ever since I ran into Sean, I just couldn't relax. Olivia suggested we head to

one of her favorite bars.

"If I'm lucky, I might run into this guy I've been crushing on! I'm definitely getting his

number tonight!" Olivia said, practically buzzing with excitement.

I thought to myself, a drink tonight wouldn't hurt.

Just as Olivia and I were about to leave, David stopped me.

"Ms. Wilson."

I caught David Chen's concerned expression as he stood in the doorway of Olivia's brownstone, his forehead creased with worry.

"Ms. Wilson, the auction ended quite late. Is it really appropriate to go out at this hour?" he asked, his tone carefully respectful yet unmistakably disapproving.

Beside me, Olivia rolled her eyes dramatically. "Good heavens, David! It's barely ten o'clock. When did you become such an old fuddy-duddy? You're still young!"

I saw the tension in David's stance-his well-tailored suit couldn't hide his discomfort. Christopher had hired him to keep me safe, not to watch me venture out at night.

"It's not the time that concerns me, Ms. Harrison. It's your safety. Two women alone at night-"

"This is the Upper East Side of Manhattan," Olivia interrupted, adjusting her designer clutch. "There are security guards and cameras on every corner. We'll be perfectly fine."

I sighed, recognizing the futility of arguing when Olivia had that determined glint in her eye. Instead, I turned to David. "Please make sure Aria and Ethan are in bed by nine. And no more iPad time tonight, even if they beg."
