Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 218

The phone finally connected, and Yorick strained to make his voice sound patient. "Ursula."

"Rick, where are you?"

Yorick replied, "Got something going on here, I'll call you back later," and he was about to hang up.

But before he could, Ursula cut in. "You're in Spring Hill, aren't you?"

Yorick's breath hitched at her words, his grip on the phone tightening. "What about it?"

"Why do you have to be in Spring Hill for a meeting?"

Wasn’t work supposed to be at the office? What sort of meeting required him to be at a spa?

Ursula couldn't control her rising emotions, her tone clearly accusatory.

Yorick's eyes narrowed, his aura turning distinctly frosty.

Before he could respond, Ursula pressed on. "Is Stella there too? You went to see her, didn't you?"

The thought of Stella clashing with Vivian, and Yorick being there to defend her, crossed her mind. How was Stella always in the picture? What did these men see in her?

The more Ursula thought about it, the angrier she became, especially with Yorick's current attitude toward her. Not securing Wave Residence was embarrassing enough, and now knowing both Yorick and Stella were in Spring Hill, her frustration was nearing its breaking point.

Hearing the slight accusation in Ursula's tone, Yorick frowned. "Ursula."

His voice was colder as he began to speak, sending a chill down Ursula's spine on the other end of the line. The sharpness in her voice quickly gave way to a sense of vulnerability. "Rick, I'm scared."

Yorick closed his eyes momentarily. "I know."

Ursula hesitated before asking, "So, you went to see Stella?"

"No."

"Then you..."

Yorick rubbed his temples, feeling the onset of a headache. "I've got real business here. Gotta hang up now."
