Chapter 125 When Chris heard the n"Giovanni", his expression darkened.
But he didn't dwell on it for long.
"Why is Stephanie here?" he asked Kevin, his tone noticeably tense.
93% +13 Kevin hesitated, trying to stay neutral. "It's probably a coincidence. After all, we're here on short notice, and no one really knew we were coming. Maybe she cwith Mr. Hodge?" Kevin knew better than to reveal Chris's whereabouts to anyone.
After he mentioned about just coincidence, however, Chris's cold demeanor beceven more apparent.
Kevin wasn't entirely convinced that she cwith Jackson, but he kept his thoughts to himself.
"Find out who she cwith," Chris ordered, his expression ice-cold.
Kevin nodded, but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Understood... But we need to find the heir to the Lucano family first. You know how important this is. If we don't get this done today, there will be trouble with Mr. Ashford." 'And the Ashford Group will suffer too. Not to mention Olivia...
He didn't finish his sentence, knowing Chris already understood the stakes.
Twas of the essence. They needed to locate Mr. Lucano.
Chris pinched the bridge of his nose, a headache building. "It won't take long. Go ahead and check." Kevin nodded. "Yes, sir." With Chris's insistence, Kevin set off to investigate, knowing there was no room for failure.
***** Meanwhile, Stephanie had just finished changing in the locker room.
Following Sebastian's advice, she bundled up in a thick robe on her way from the locker room to the hot springs.
As soon as she stepped out of the locker room, she collided with a woman wrapped in a towel.
The woman lost her balance and fell straight into the footbath at the entrance with a loud splash.
Her towel soaked immediately, leaving her completely drenched.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe woman yelled angrily, "Watch where you're going! Are you blind?" Stephanie was speechless.
It was clearly her fault for running into Stephanie.
Stephanie's expression darkened. "I don't know if I'm blind, but you definitely are!" The woman, now even more furious, wiped the water off her face, stood up, and glared at Stephanie. Chapter 125 As their eyes met, both of them immediately recognized each other.
The woman's face darkened. "It's you?" Stephanie replied, "So it's you? With your lack of manners and vision, that makes sense." It was Mayra Garcia, Olivia's best friend.
It was Mayra, Olivia's best friend. Stephanie had met her once before during a visit to the Hart family. Back then, she had been rude to her because of Olivia.
They'd crossed paths twice more while shopping, with Mayra always sticking up for Olivia and causing trouble for her.
Stephanie's vengeful nature led to their mutual dislike.
Mayra's anger flared even more at Stephanie's words, and her eyes practically shot fire.
She yanked off the wet towel, threw it to the ground, and put her hands on her hips. "Who are you calling lack of manners?" she snapped.
She looked like she was ready to strike if Stephanie dared to say anything else.
Stephanie wasn't backing down. “I'm talking about you. What's it to you?" Furious, Mayra raised her hand, about to slap Stephanie.
But Stephanie wasn't one to take it lying down.
She quickly grabbed Mayra's wrist with one hand and raised her other hand to retaliate.
Before she could strike, however, a hand suddenly reached from behind and shoved Mayra aside.
Mayra's wrist slipped out of Stephanie's grip, and she collapsed back into the bath.
Meanwhile, Stephanie was pulled into someone's embrace.
Instinctively, Stephanie turned her head.
It was Sebastian, his face dark with anger. He shot a cold, hard glare at Mayra, then turned back to Stephanie with concern.
"Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Stephanie shook her head. "No, she just wanted to hit me!" At this moment, Macro rushed over, glancing at Stephanie.
He couldn't help but think to himself, 'Sebastian's eyes really never leave Stephanie, huh?" From so far away, he'd noticed everything.
Thinking about how Sebastian had hurriedly left earlier, worried someone might be bothering her, Macro found himself shaking his head.
This girl's never been through a tough tin Long Harbor, and yet he's worried about her.
Sebastian's face darkened as he shot a cold glare at Mayra, who had just gotten up from the bath. Mayra gritted her teeth in frustration. That guy actually pushed me?! 13 07 Tue, 11 Mar +13 Chapter 125 "Well, well, Stephanie Giovanni," she sneered. "No wonder you've been so bold about breaking off your engagement with Chris lately. I guess you found someone else. What? Are you going to play the heartbroken lover routine now?" Even though she could tell that the man holding Stephanie had an extraordinary presence, she'd never seen him around Long Harbor before, so he couldn't have been anyone important.
Besides, what kind of man would want someone like Stephanie? Mayra was sure that Stephanie had settled for slow-tier guy.
Sebastian's eyes narrowed as Macro finally realized the person Stephanie was clashing with was Mayra.
His expression immediately soured.
It was only then that Mayra noticed Macro.
With her fiery attitude, she suddenly changed her tune, her eyes turning red. "Macro, where have you been?" she exclaimed.
Stephanie blinked.
Sebastian's face was equally blank.
Both of them turned their attention to Macro at the sound of Mayra's voice.
Macro's expression darkened when he saw who was causing the trouble. "What's going on with you?" he snapped.
Mayra pouted, looking upset. "They're bullying me." Stephanie rolled her eyes.
No surprise, she's just like Olivia-always acting.
"You're supposed to help me," Mayra said, stepping forward to grab Macro's hand.
Macro, however, was quick to pull away, avoiding her touch. He had no interest in getting involved with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing him dodge her, Mayra's eyes narrowed with frustration. "You..." Macro shot her a sharp look. "What's your deal? I saw everything that just happened." The matchmaking people at hreally didn't do him any favors.
Was she a troublemaker or what? They don't even know each other well yet. What is she acting for? He hadn't been impressed by her from the start, especially after she nearly clashed with Stephanie earlier.
Watching her bump into Stephanie and almost start a fight only confirmed what kind of person she was. Macro glanced at Stephanie, still being held by Sebastian. "You didn't get hurt, did you?" Stephanie shook her head. "No." Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he coldly added, "You should really get your eyes checked." With that, he turned and walked off with Stephanie in his arms.
Macro heard Sebastian's remark and frowned. Was he really implying that he hadn't seen people clearly? 07:03 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 125 "Hey, I wasn't the one picking..." he muttered to himself.
He was just on a blind date. Who had perfect vision to figure someone out on the first meeting? Macro quickened his pace to catch up with Sebastian, but Mayra grabbed his arm. "Macro." He turned back to face her, his expression now colder than when they'd been drinking coffee. Mayra took a deep breath. “So, you and Stephanie?"
Macro raised an eyebrow. "What? You trying to pin s'seducing me' cseducingime' story on her and trying to mess up our relationship?" Mayra froze, caught off guard.
Macro shook his head. "You women. Is it justor do you all have one-track minds?" Mayra froze when she heard Macro's words.
Macro gave her a cold look. "That's enough. Don't contactagain." Without another word, he pulled his hand away and walked off in the direction where Sebastian and Stephanie had gone.
Mayra stood there, speechless, unable to offer any explanation.
When she heard his parting words, telling her not to contact him again, it felt like a blow to her head.
Though it was their first meeting, she had been fond of Macro He wash attractive, with a solid background in E medicine. Most importantly, she realized he was the top cardiologist that Olivia needed.
She had hoped to get close to him, even planned on convincing him to join Olivia's treatment team.
She had been worried about Olivia, especially after the team of specialists had been switched out repeatedly.
Now, it seemed like her chance with Macro was slipping away.
"Stephanie Giovanni!" she muttered angrily, grinding her teeth.
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost my chance with Macro so soon.
Meanwhile, Macro had caught up with them, but by the the m reached the hot spring. Sebastian and Stephanie were already soaking in the water. As he made his way down, Sebastian's cold voice rang out. "Don't get in." Macro stopped in his tracks.
'What? Why not?' It was freezing on the shore. He was just trying to relax in the hot spring like everyone else.
