"And why not?" he shot back, glaring at her with profound irritation.
Stella froze, then blurted out, "Because we're a fake couple..."
Sean was so furious he could have spit blood. 'She really knows how to twist the knife!'
"When I say you don't have to pay it back, you don't have to pay it back. What's with all the nonsense?" His tone turned harsh, his expression a mixture of growing impatience and disgust. "Is there a third thing or not...?"
Stella sensed she had really ticked him off, but she summoned her courage anyway. "The third thing... is about Kai Young..."
'Ugh, bringing this up now... he's probably going to lose it.'
But instead, he cut her off with a scowl. "Mr. Yates already told me. Fine, we won't blacklist him, but you have to promise me one thing..."
'He agrees the second Reaper Yates says something. Their relationship really is something else... Pillow talk sure works wonders.'
