Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Sebastian's face was a study in displeasure after being abruptly hung up on. If Stephanie had just sweet-talked him a bit, hadn't spoken with such a temper, he would have gone to her anyway.

Stephanie really had become too spoiled.

She'd flown off the handle before they could even finish their conversation.

"Mr. Sebastian, aren't you heading out yet?" Martin suddenly popped his head into the office.

"Have you figured out who's backing Yolanda?"

"No news yet."

Sebastian's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "Whoever it is, I want her at the hospital, apologizing to Gracie and Max right now! Otherwise, she'll have to deal with the consequences!"

Martin, surprised, said, "Mr. Sebastian, we don't have any proof that Yolanda was behind that incident."

"Well, she's been pinned with it now."

Stephanie was ticked off.

Though perplexed, Martin did as instructed.

Once Yolanda realized who Martin was, she explained herself politely over the phone, "Martin. you have to make it clear to President Ingram, I didn't have anything to do with what happened to Gracie. I went straight home that day. We just had a bit of a spat in the lounge. If I need to apologize in person, I can do that."

Martin replied coolly, "Then please, Yolanda, make your way to the hospital now. Mr. Sebastian will be there shortly."

Yolanda knew she couldn't avoid this trip.

She wondered, what had Sebastian found out now?

Inside, she regretted ever crossing Stephanie that night.

If her secret backer was exposed, she couldn't fathom the fallout.

She hoped that day would never come.

Sebastian was quick on his feet, quicker than Stephanie.

After all, the Skyline Corporation was closer to the hospital.

For Stephanie's crew, the drive to the hospital would take an hour and a half.

By the time she arrived, the room was crowded.

Maximus and Gracie were both propped up in their hospital beds.

The beds were pushed together, no doubt at Maximus's request.

Maximus, with a bandage wrapped around his head and leaning on a pillow, looked surprisingly cheerful despite his concussion, his gaze fixed on Gracie and her belly as if no one else existed.

Dashiell, having heard about the accident, came to visit with Mr. Finnegan.

Stephanie thought she could best me?

Hang up on me?

Can't I come on my own?

I wouldn't go pick her up to come together!

She was too used to getting her way."

So when Stephanie walked in with Emily and saw Sebastian, her face was a mask of surprise.

Then she pouted, continuing to act miffed as if she hadn't seen him.

She thought, "Nice move, Silver Fox!

You wouldn't come with me, but here you are on your own!

"Wait, that's not right.

Why is Yolanda here, too?

Is she here to visit Gracie?"

Stephanie, confused, tugged at Emily as they approached, "Mr. Finnegan, Dashiell, you're here too?"

"Ah, Stephanie," Mr. Finnegan said with a chuckle.

Gracie, surprised, said, "Steph, I told you not to come."

Stephanie, all smiles, said, "I'm not

Maximus's face broke into a wide grin, "Thanks! You're an auntie now too."
