Boss Pace sulkily withdrew his cigarette case.
"Mr. Rhodes, Aaron Albright was in the wrong here. You decide how to handle this. I'll cooperate fully."
Roman Rhodes toyed with the ring on his pinky finger, turning his head to look at Stella Sterling. "What happened on the street that day?"
The moment he spoke, not only was Stella surprised, but Aaron Albright's face was filled with panic. He knew Roman Rhodes was about to settle old scores.
'How could I have known,' he thought, 'that the girl I casually harassed on the street was actually one of Mr. Rhodes's people?'
Stella Sterling met Roman Rhodes's gaze and said bluntly, "He was about to hit me. Miles stepped in to help."
Boss Pace: "..." 'This is a disaster.'
Aaron Albright: "..." 'I'm done for.'
Stella Sterling had no desire to smooth things over.
If it hadn't been for Miles that day, Aaron Albright's slap would have definitely landed on her face.
