Hyland Riley took a deep breath, trying to suppress his frustration. "Stella, I shouldn't have snapped at you, but there's just so much going on right now. That new drug still hasn't hit the market, and I'm under a lot of pressure. Can you please just stay out of trouble for once?"
Stella felt a pang of injustice but seeing Hyland's current state, she didn't dare to argue.
Sharing a bed with Hyland every night, she knew exactly how hard things had been for him lately. That's why she had tried to use this situation to threaten Sylvia Byrne.
"What about the drug then? If I'd known, I wouldn't have burned that woman's stuff."
Hyland ran his hands through his hair in frustration. "What's done is done. It's too late to change anything now. We just have to wait for the researchers to analyze the drug formula as quickly as possible."
