Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3477

"Got it!"

Marina needed to swing by her apartment to grab another storyboard notebook. By the time she parked downstairs, grabbed dinner, and rode the elevator up, it was entirely dark out. She pushed open the door and froze.

Carson Foster was sitting in the dimly lit living room.

He lifted his gaze as she entered. Spotting the laptop bag slung over her shoulder, a sudden realization seemed to hit him. "You didn't go home. Where were you?"

Marina walked toward her desk, briefly debating whether to lie. But as she set her bag down, she decided on the truth. "I was with Nocturne."

Carson's brows snapped together. His head whipped toward her. "You two met?"

She nodded. "Many times."

The room was cast in heavy shadows, the lights still off. Carson's eyes were pitch black, completely unreadable. He stood up and closed the distance between them, leaning heavily against her desk. He stared down at her.

"Marina," he said, his voice dangerously low. "Do you know what you're doing?"

Marina's hand stalled on the zipper of her laptop bag. She looked up, meeting his intense glare without flinching. "Of course I do."

He studied her face. Suddenly, his harsh demeanor vanished, replaced by an eerie calm. "Many times, you said? What kind of guy is he?"

"He's great. Polite. Incredibly talented," she answered honestly.

His gaze turned somber. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. "How much longer until this project is finished?"

"At least two months. Why?"

"End it now," Carson said with absolute finality. "Quit."

Marina stared at him in disbelief. "Why would I do that?"
