Richard was drained from evading Sebastian’s chase, having used up every ounce of his energy. After a full day on the run, he finally made it back to Valdusso in Paginara.

He grabbed the coat from his subordinate and tossed it to Stephanie. “Put this on,” he said. When he’d pulled her out, she was still in her loungewear, which had gotten all wrinkled during the escape.

Stephanie gave him a glare that could’ve melted steel.

Richard rolled his eyes. “Who do you think you’re messing with? I’m not gonna baby you like Sebastian does. Put it on, now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Stephanie grabbed the coat and threw it over his head, covering him completely.

In the dark, Richard yanked off his coat, frustration twisting his face. “Damn it,” he said, shaking it out. “With that attitude, you must’ve gotten into big trouble in Long Harbor.”

While most people knew how to handle trouble, Stephanie’s stubbornness could easily annoy others, making them blame her for everything just to give her a hard time.

“Why do you care?” Stephanie demanded, her voice tinged with frustration. “Just give me my phone back.” She’d been dying to call Sebastian all day, but she didn’t have her phone.

Richard looked at her, his face serious. “You’re asking me for your phone?”

“Who else would I ask?” Stephanie snapped, clearly upset.

“Did you bring your phone?” Richard asked.

Stephanie’s face froze. A memory flashed through her mind of smashing her phone earlier. She realized she’d really left it behind.

“Remember now?” Richard said, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

“Then why didn’t you pick it up for me?” she shot back.

Richard was momentarily speechless by her logic. “If I’d been a second slower, Sebastian would’ve caught me. And you want me to pick up your phone? Stephanie, what are you thinking? Has Sebastian spoiled you so much that you’re being so willful?”

“Yeah, I’m willful. So what? If you’re annoyed, why don’t you just send me back?” Stephanie said, her voice dripping with attitude.

Richard’s eyes narrowed. He knew Stephanie was trying to provoke him, hoping he’d give in and send her back. “Hmph, keep dreaming,” he grumbled.

“Fine, fine,” Stephanie said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She said it twice, making Richard’s irritation spike.
