Patrick was especially furious about this.

When Susan heard him blaming everything on her, she got anxious. “What kind of mother do you think I am? You know exactly what Stella is like! It’s not like you can handle her either!”

“Lean’t handle her because I don’t have the time! You’re the one who stays home raising the kids. After she came back, did you ever try to patiently guide her?

Susan didn’t answer.

Patience of course she wanted to be patient. But did Stella ever give her the chan

Patrick was clearly annoyed. “Forget it. Just deal with the house stuff for now. Things at the company are a mess.

“How bad is it?”

As soon as she heard things at the company were messy, Susan asked without thinking.

And she still had that design for Sterling Global to work on. “I’m busy, and now you’re trying to tempt me.”

Just hearing the words “hot springs was enough to tempt her.

Especially since her leg had started acting up again last night. Winters were always the worst.

Abraliam chuckled. “Busy with what?”

“I told you last night. I’ve got a major client’s project I’m handling personally.

“Which big client?“.

“Sterling Global Stella.couldn’t be more serious about that one.

The price they offered was several times the market rate,

And they didn’t even have that many demands,

Just the design fee alone made it worth doing properly.

“You said Sterling Global? I’m pretty close with their CEO. Want me to ask for an extension?”

“You know Sterling Global’s CEO?”

No way–he was connected to them too?

“Yeah, we’re pretty tight,”

“That’s not necessary. I mean, I can-

“Pack up:

Stella hadn’t even finished when Abraham cut her off.

“Fine.”

She hung up, closed the laptop she had just opened, and packed it into her bag.

Pluchville Hill was so far out, there was no way she’d be coming back today,
