Crossroads

I Chapter 95

(Are you Sleeping Beauty?]

Stephanie suddenly received a friend request, so she hung up on Vincent's call and logged onto WhatsApp.

SnugglePig: [What Sleeping Beauty? How could I have such an artsy WhatsApp name?)

Molly Snuggleton went emotional, bombarding Stephanie with messages.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, you heartless thing. Don't act like you don't remember me. I'm Molly.)

[Back in high school, I slept under your bunk, remember? You used to skip class all the time, and I got dragged into helping you fake attendance."

Stephanie's face lit up with realization as she remembered that cute girl StephForce: [Why don't you change your WhatsApp name to PiggyClimbs? Weren't you abroad? You're coming back?

SnugglePig: [Pfft, there's not even a man in sight. Where am I gonna climb? You hit me where it hurts right away. Are all the guys at the company blind? I'm so cute, but none of them makes a move.)

Stephanie chuckled at the barrage of frustrated expressions she received, feeling like she was back in high school. Back then, Molly used to stick to her like glue. They lost touch during college for some reason.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, are you married?]

Stephanie replied with a poker face: [Twice.]

Molly freaked out. [Are you kidding me? You've been with two men already. Why can't I get married?]

StephForce: [They are scumbags.]

SnugglePig: (Who did you marry? What did your ex and current husband look like? Do they have our previous TA handsome?]

StephForce: [Which TA?)

Stephanie remembered her high school had a direct college section, and in the second half of senior year, the school often had professors from the college section teach the top students. Most of those professors were bald and old.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, I bet five cents your husband is a fatso. How can you forget the super handsome TA we had at school? He was the talk of the town!]

Stephanie thought Molly hadn't matured a bit over the years. She was still the same optimistic girl obsessed with good-looking guys.

Feeling Molly's excitement, Stephanie remembered something.

in the second half of senior year, there was a handsome TA, who was even hotter than an international supermodel. Most importantly, his background was impressive, and rumor had it that even his voice was charming. The female students in the school went crazy over him.

However, Stephanie never saw this legendary TA because, in the second half of senior year, she was busy working part-time at a milkshake shop and skipped all her classes.

SnugglePig: [Stephanie, I work for a cool company now. Come find me tomorrow. I'll treat you to lunch.]

StephForce: Where will we meet)I

SnugglePig: [I'm treating you to a feast at the Gordon Hotel. Dress decently because the waiters there are a bit snobbish. I got my pay today, and let's go there tomorrow.]

Stephanie read the message with a pensive expression.

Molly crowed: II work at the Innovate Group. Awesome, huh?

Stephanie had seen it.

The largest hotel near the Innovate Group was the Gordon Hotel. "Dominick often dines then there...

She put down her phone, surprised by the fact that Molly was working at the Innovate Group.

She looked out the window and found that it was still raining. The sound of rain lulled her to sleep, Holding the soft blanket, she closed her eyes.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She couldn't help murmuring, "What is Dominick doing now?"

He still hadn't returned.

Stephanie slept early and woke up up in the morning, feeling refreshed. But when she turned her head to the empty side, she felt a strange sense of loss.

"Grandpa, I'm having lunch with a classmate at noon." Now she had to report wherever she went.

Unbothered with her business, George just reminded her, "Don't eat randomly."

"I know," Stephanie replied.

As she left with the driver, George seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted, know."

Stephanie paused in surprise.

"That kid may get mad," George said indifferently.

"Oh," Stephanie hummed in consent, looking awkward.

"Steffi, if it's a man, you'd better let Dominick Stephanie felt a bit nervous, unsure if it was because she was meeting a long-

lost friend or because the meeting place was near the Innovate Group.

The driver dropped her off in front of a café opposite the Innovate Group. Molly was supposed to come 15 minutes early during her lunch break.

Stephanie had never been inside the Innovate Group, guessing that Dominick's office should be on the top floor.

Subconsciously, she looked up. The building was really tall.

It exuded a solemn and dignified style. The dark glass walls reflected light. The metallic logo was too eye-catching and awe-inspiring It was almost lunchtime, and the spacious driveway gradually became crowded. These office workers swarmed out of the building, talking and laughing.

"Now more than seventy percent of the projects in the Reed family are supported by the Innovate Group, and last week they messed up a big project. Surprisingly, Mr. Wellington didn't lose his temper today," someone said.

"I don't understand what's so special about Gary from Caelorium. Why does Mr.

Wellington have to support the Reed family?" said another.

Stephanie glanced at her phone. It was already 12:03, and most of the employees were having a break. Still, Molly was nowhere to be seen.

"I haven't seen her for years. Did she get plastic surgery?" She looked up carefully at the building opposite and froze.

A man standing on the driveway was surprised to see her.

"Looking for me?"

He strode over and asked in a casual tone.

Stephanie looked at him, feeling a bit nervous. She hadn't expected to run into him.

"Does he think I came to find him?' she thought.

She evaded his deep eyes and replied honestly, "Not really."

Lowering her voice, she added, "I made an appointment with a friend."

But before she could finish her om sentence, the man in front of her frowned, Losing his patience, said, "Stephanie, you really Dominick sa like to make me angry." Grabbing her wrist, he dragged her away.

"Dominick, where are you taking me?"

She was afraid he would take her to en that awful basement like last time, so she hurriedly explained, I made an I made appointment with a friend. It's my high school classmate and a girl."

Dominick suddenly stopped, and Stephanie's head bumped into his back.

She lowered her head and innocently rubbed her nose. Dominick turned around, looked down at her, and pressed his lips, hesitating to say something.
