Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 474

Barnaby was baffled.

"It's best to avoid that kind of place," he mused, "It’s downright dangerous."

Silas chimed in, “Because your mouth’s just as annoying as Finley’s.”

Barnaby was stunned. "Whoa, hold on! That's harsh, huh? What did I ever do to you?"

Silas shrugged. “You didn’t do anything to me. But you sure ticked off the boss.”

“Wait, what? When did that happen? How come nobody told me?” Barnaby was completely lost.

Silas simply shook his head in exasperation. Barnaby was clearly not getting it.

Barnaby squinted at him, “Oh, you mean those little things? Seriously, is it really that big of a deal?”

“Those ‘little things’ almost got Finley drowned in the sea,” Silas pointed out.

Barnaby’s eyes widened, recalling Finley’s marathon swim. “Wow, seriously? Isn’t that too extreme? Are Mr. Quinn and our boss that petty?”

Just then, Hull descended the stairs.

Barnaby glared at Silas, who was clearly trying to avoid eye contact.

Silas stood up straight, greeting him respectfully, “Mr. Miguel.”

Hull was in a deep navy bathrobe, which revealed just enough of his toned chest to hint at the tattoos beneath. He cut an imposing figure. Even Silas couldn’t help but think how Susanna’s petite frame matched Hull’s towering presence.

Hull settled onto the couch, his voice icy, “Is everything taken care of?”

Silas nodded. “Don’t worry, Boss. It’s all sorted. Left one alive for you, just like always.”
