「The next morning.」
Leah Rhodes and Dr. Garrison were about to set off on their return to Vicenza.
Before they left, Roman Rhodes instructed Brandon Coleman, "After you arrive in Vicenza, take her to Borland Road to meet with Mrs. Rhodes first."
Brandon Coleman nodded and added, "Dr. Garrison just found me. She said that while Miss Leah is in Vicenza, she will be staying temporarily in her apartment."
The man was noncommittal. "Let Kevin know."
Kevin was Leah Rhodes's father, Ryan Rhodes.
"Understood, Mr. Rhodes," Brandon Coleman said.
「Meanwhile.」
While Roman Rhodes and Brandon Coleman were discussing business in the study, Stella Sterling sat in the living room, nursing a cup of coffee. She had dark circles under her eyes and was clearly exhausted.
She had been having erotic dreams all night.
She had startled awake in the man's arms at six in the morning.
Feeling the unusual warmth against her back, she hadn't dared to move, and all sleepiness had vanished.
