"Steph!"
The mother and daughter were not giving in to each other when suddenly a gentle female voice chimed in, "Mrs. Bishop, Steph, are you going to deliver something to someone? If Steph doesn't want to go, don't force her. I'll help deliver it... I'm free anyway, and I drove here, so it'll be a quick trip."
Hearing this, there's a hint of mockery in Stephanie's eyes.
Nice try, she wanted to know what Ms. Klein was up to visiting all of a sudden! Well, now she knew!
"Alright then! Since you're so willing to help me with this, I really appreciate it... This lunchbox contains lunch; it's quite a bother, thank you."
Katherine felt that things were going way too smoothly!
She immediately put on a big smile and spoke in a friendly tone, "No problem at all. If you need any help in the future, just let me know... Leave this to me. I'll head over right away."
Stephanie smiled back and said, "Go ahead."
Katherine left with a smug expression, feeling on top of the world. She could actually get a chance to approach Sebastian so smoothly... It felt like a dream come true.
After she left, Marilyn frowned, "Steph, how could you let her deliver lunch to Seb!"
Stephanie snapped back, "Oh, now you know that she's not a good person! Then why did you let her in and even drink her soup?"
Marilyn choked at her words, speechless.
At this point, it was obvious that Katherine's intentions were too clear. She didn't even ask for the address after taking the thermos, which could only mean that she already knew about Sebastian.
It was very likely she came just to get close to him...
