Lewis was s stunned by Stella's sudden outburst. "Wait, I... I'm just telling the truth." Stella shot back. "She's not cut out to be an undercover agent." Lewis replied. "But you can't ignore the fact that she almost got the boss killed yesterday. That's still the truth." Bottom line-Tessa had landed herself in deep trouble with Victor.
Stella huffed. "Bottom line is, I'm taking her withtoday." After hearing everything Tessa had said earlier, she'd already known it wouldn't be easy to take her away today. But she hadn't expected Victor to refuse so flatly.
