Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 172

Jeremy had left.

Tabitha walked in, "Boss, did Mr. Patel lose something? Looks like he's trying to pull a fast one on you, doesn't it?"

It seemed to Tabitha that everyone was out to scam Stella these days.

Stella retorted, "You think everyone's like Cloudia, huh?"

Tabitha was silent. She was just worried about her boss and that was all.

Their studio had been open for almost two years, and they had never seen so many visitors before.

Cloudia was carried out just yesterday, and today, Jeremy claimed he lost something here. This made Tabitha wonder if everyone was out to get her boss.

Stella clarified, "He actually lost a ring, and by the looks of it, it's worth close to one million."

Tabitha choked.

Really?

Wasn't this just a scam targeting their boss?

Someone lost something worth millions in her boss's office, and if that was not a scam, Tabitha wouldn't believe it.

"I bet he's trying to scam you, boss. Don't think of people too innocently."

Stella countered, "And you shouldn't think so poorly of people, or you might end up without a boyfriend."

Tabitha was speechless. Was her concern really misplaced?

Who visited someone and “accidentally” lost something worth millions? That had to be intentional.

Stella uttered, "Alright, make me a coffee, will you?"

Scam or no scam, it didn't matter to Stella. She wasn't an easy target. After all, she wasn't scamming anyone herself.

Last night, Ronald had given her quite the headache with his drunken antics, and she was still feeling a bit woozy.

Tabitha nodded and left.

As Stella was left alone, her phone buzzed.

It was Ronald.

Stella answered, "Hey, Ronald."

"Jeremy left?"

His voice was deep and carried an intimidating seriousness.
