Chapter 408

“What a happy coincidence!”

Gabriel was oblivious to the tension between the two women. He asked Stella to get into the car, then helped to load her suitcase.

Rayna scooted over to make room for Stella.

Shooting a glance at the elegant Stella, she said, “My apologies for catching a ride back with the two of you.”

Stella smoothed her long hair as she replied with a smile, “Don’t worry about it. I don’t mind at all. Had I known you were friends with Gab, I could’ve walked out with you just now.”

Gab?

That cheesy nickname was too much for Rayna, and a shudder of disgust ran through her body. Then, she lowered her head and texted Jefferson to let him know she had arrived safely.

Her call had been interrupted when her phone fell to the floor earlier, and she had not gotten a chance to call him again.

Getting the hint that Rayna did not wish to be disturbed, Stella knew better than to continue talking to the former.

After Gabriel got into the driver’s seat, Stella asked in a concerned tone, “I heard it has been raining in Norwal City since last Monday. You didn’t catch a cold, did you?”

“Nope. I’m as fit as a fiddle,” he said while reaching for a thermos flask on the car seat and passing it to her. “Here’s some Earl Grey tea I brewed an hour ago.”

She took the thermos flask. “Why, thank you!”

As soon as she unscrewed the lid, the tea’s sweet fragrance quickly wafted in the air.

Rayna found the smell a little nauseating and shifted further away, but to her dismay, Stella poured a cup of tea and held it out to her. “Would you like to try some, Ms. Garland?”

Concealing her discomfort, Rayna pushed the cup away. “None for me, thanks.”
