That water was filthy; it had just been used to mop the bathroom floor.
“No need. Mind your own business,” Stephanie said flatly.

want to keep your stuopen.”
But Stephanie didn’t even flinch. She met his gaze head-on, completely unfazed. “Then you'll have to shut it
down first.”
Her calm defiance only fueled Chris‘ fury. His eyes burned, the heat of his anger searing through him. But then,
just as quickly, it was doused. Like fire meeting water, his fury was extinguished in an instant.
He gritted his teeth. “You just wait.” With that, he turned and stormed toward the door, every step radiating
hostility.
