Chapter 718
"That's why you gotta come with me, Hank. You're still so young, you can't let life pass you by like this."
Once the decade-long commitment you made is up, all the golden years of your life will be behind you.
Hank gave a wry smile and said, "What life is left to talk about. Right now, I just hope that Mother Superior gets better soon, and that the kids at the orphanage can get a full belly and warm clothes like I did when I was their age." "That's exactly why you need to take this chance with me."
But Hank hesitated, "I know you're doing well now, Stephanie. But I don't want to be a burden to you."
Marrying into high society is like a fairy tale. Stephanie may look glamorous on the outside, but who knows what she has to endure in secret.
The last thing he wanted was to trouble her.
Stephanie raised an eyebrow and said, "This little thing won't be any trouble for me. Come on, do I have to drag you?"
With a resigned laugh, Hank gave in. He skipped the company event and let Stephanie tug him by the arm.
Little did they know, they were being secretly photographed.
After Stephanie took Hank out in her luxury car for some fast food, the next thing the tabloids showed was them getting cozy in the underground parking lot.
And there was physical contact between them.
Sebastian almost choked on his own fury when he saw the videos online.
With a mix of exasperation and amusement, Martin said, "So why exactly did the boss gift Ms. Bishop a sports car?"
Sebastian shot him a glare and snapped, "Did I know she'd be so bold?"
"So boss, pampering Ms. Bishop requires caution." Martin suggested, hinting that maybe he should pull back a little.
Ms. Bishop might be docile and obedient at a snap of her fingers, but Sebastian seemed ready to give her his heart and everything nice he could lay his hands on. What an idiot.
Sebastian replied coolly, "Since when do I need your guidance on what I should do?"
"My bad, boss."
"Get back to work!"
"Yes, boss!"
Sebastian simmered with frustration all afternoon, not receiving a single explanation from Stephanie.
Not a call, not a message of concern or greeting.
Was she swept off her feet by some young stud?
Had she completely forgotten who he was? Sebastian was inwardly crumbling.
Meanwhile, when Stephanie brought Hank into the studio, the receptionist promptly informed Gracie upon seeing the boss arrive with a young hunk in tow.
Gracie, along with Ashley, came out of the office holding little Emily.
Upon seeing Stephanie, Emily scurried over. Stephanie picked her up in a swift motion.
Only then did Emily turn her gaze to Hank. Her eyes shone as she exclaimed, "Wow, what a handsome guy!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Stephanie winked at her and teased, "You like him, Emily? Should I introduce him to you, huh?"

Gracie looked surprised, "Since when do you have a little brother, Steph?"
"He's a former colleague of mine, like a brother to me."
"Oh, I see. Well, why don't we sit down for a chat over some tea?"
"Sounds great, Gracie. Come on, Hank!"
