Stella was halfway across the hospital parking lot when headlights swept over her feet.
She paused, frowning, and turned just in time to see a familiar car pull neatly into a space near the VIP entrance.
The engine shut off, and a tall figure stepped out. She recognized the man immediately.
Someone she rarely sees outside her office, as their busy schedules seldom allow them to meet. They had only spoken over the phone until now.
Without hesitation, she hurried toward him.
"Dylan?" she asked, blinking. "What are you doing here at this hour?"
Dylan shut the door and adjusted his jacket, looking a bit too calm for someone arriving nearly at midnight at the hospital.
"Visiting my boss."
Stella was surprised to hear that. 'Axel? Is he sick? Did he have another boss? she wondered, before asking, "Which boss?"
For a fraction of a second, his expression stiffened.
That was all it took.
