Chapter 132
“I’m gonna pop by the boss’ office and let him know I’m heading out early.” If it wasn’t for Kristin’s call, Estrella would’ve totally spaced on the whole thing.
On the other end, Kristin said, “Jason’s gonna pick you up later. You guys can head back together.”
“Cool,” Estrella chuckled. “If I bump into him, we’ll ride back together.”

On her end, Estrella replied, “I’m almost at the old house.”
With a click, he hung up, knowing all too well she had done it on purpose.
In her Audi, Estrella nonchalantly tossed her phone on the dashboard after the call dropped.
“Estrella, you made it!”
“Hey, Estrella.”
