A corner of Stella’s mouth lifted as she smiled mockingly at him. “Who do you think you are?”
She looked straight into his eyes and said, “I was just responding to your words. How is that considered talking back? Do you really think you’re all that and that I naturally deserve to hear your lecture?”
Xavier’s face darkened with displeasure. “You…”
Both of them were at daggers drawn.
Zeta was still oblivious to what was happening in her own office. She yelled to Stella while searching for the medicine.
“I tried to look for something with milder side effects while I was overseas, but it’s better that you cut down your dosage of this stuff. It is an aphrodisiac after all and has significant side effects…” “Of course, it’s not that damaging over the short-term, but using it for a long period, it might result in irreparable damage to your health.”
She simply kept going on. Xavier was keen enough to catch the keywords in what Zeta said. He turned to Stella and asked, “You’re buying aphrodisiacs from her?”
He had previously seen such medicine on Zeta’s shelves and thought she had bought it herselt
Which was why, that night she had kissed him with the passion of a thousand burning suns But after calming himself down, he knew it couldn’t have been Zeta’s medicine.
She wouldn’t use such drugs
What he didn’t expect was for those medicines to be for Stella
He suddenly scoffed with disdain. “I was still confused as to why Weston suddenly liked you so much that he was willing to call off his engagement with Guinevere – turns out that you’ve been seducing him by using medicine !
Zeta walked back into her office with the medicine in hand. She was stunned to see Xavier standing there, having a face off with Stella
“What are you doing here?” Even in her shock, she did not forget to hide the medicine behind her back
She remembered Strlla’s reminders that her medicine usage was a private affair and was something that she couldn’t let a spcond person know about
Xavier sneered. “To think that the high munutrd and litt Dr. Taylor would be involved with south women”
“I don’t understand what you nran.”
