Ten minutes later, Chris followed Stephanie into the studio. He took a quick glance around and could immediately tell that the studio had been around for quite some time.

Looking around, he estimated there were at least several dozen people.

For a studio, that wasn’t small at all.

I didn’t expect Stephanie to have this kind of power behind the scenes. More than two million dollars in profit a year. That’s a huge amount, Chris thought. And she was only in her twenties.

Jennifer poured Chris a cup of coffee, and sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, she quickly excused herself and

“Shut down the studio? Supported by you all? You’re offering me 6 thousand dollars a month? Wow, that’s generous.” Stephanie mocked him.

Doesn’t matter? What’s she trying to say? Does she mean our broken engagement had nothing to do with Olivia?‘ Chris mind raced as he wondered.

This thought made his head feel like it was going to explode right now.

He bit his lip, his eyes narrowing at Stephanie, the intensity in his gaze almost like he was about to devour her. “Tll marry you. You’ll be my wife”

For a moment, Stephanie was stunned. “Wait? Did he just get slapped a couple of times, and now he’s lost his mind?‘ she
