Roman Rhodes studied Stella Sterling, his eyes deep and searching.
After a moment, he spoke in a low, deliberate tone. "Now that you're with me, you need to be more careful about making connections online."
He was direct, no longer mincing words.
Considering his status, for him to speak so candidly was a privilege reserved for Stella Sterling alone.
The moment he saw her phone screen flooded with friend requests, the possessiveness slumbering deep within him began to stir.
There was nothing wrong with making friends.
But he would not permit her to seek out romantic connections online.
Still, he couldn't bring himself to make a harsh demand, so he could only offer a gentle reminder.
Just then, something flickered at the edge of Stella's mind.
But before she could grasp the thought, there was a knock at the office door.
Roman Rhodes sat up straight and said flatly, "Come in."
It was Brandon Coleman.
He was carrying a tray.
