CHAPTER 38 Intruder

  Mia POV

  New York

  The busy day at my office had finally come to a close. Sebastian, having visited me during his brief stay in New York, had left my office after a delightful lunch together. He had brought me a delicious tuna sandwich with crispy fries and a refreshing iced caramel latte. His thoughtful gesture never ceased to warm my heart.

  Today had been a day filled with meetings and client consultations, but the thought of the evening ahead buoyed my spirits. With just two clients left on my schedule, I knew I would be able to leave the office early and enjoy a quiet evening.

  As I attended to my last client, ensuring that all their concerns were addressed, my phone chimed with a text message. I glanced at the screen, and it was Bella, who had sent the message. She informed me that she wouldn't be returning home tonight as her parents were hosting a barbecue, and she planned to stay over at their place.
