Lunch with Ella barely wrapped up when Stephanie got back to the studio–and sure enough, Elliot had already dropped the full file on Tyler’s side piece.

There was a whole section with her address and phone number too.

Before Stephanie could even step into her office, Jennifer blocked the door. “Boss, I called you three times. Why didn’t you pick up?”

Stephanie’s smile instantly dropped.

Catlin.

‘Again?‘

Fantastic. That woman just couldn’t take a hint. Clearly, if Stephanie didn’t make herself crystal clear soon, Catlin was gonna keep popping up like a bad rash.

“Steak.”

Sebastian chuckled. “I’m downstairs. You coming down, or should I come up?”

Stephanie frowned. “What are you doing here this late?”

“Got something for you.”

“Alright, hang tight.”
