'Curse you all!' Allan grumbled to himself. Mr.

Gray, how do you want to handle these flowers? John slipped in quietly, standing next to Sebastian and waiting for orders. Sebastian didn't respond. Just then, his phone started ringing. He picked up. Hello, Sebastian, Stella said lazily on the other end. Sebastian shot John a glance. "Yeah," he replied to Stella. ***** Backstage at the Underground Boxing Arena, Stella sat up on a high platform, legs swinging in the air. She had her phone in one hand, and with the other, she was ruffling Simba's big furry head.

She grinned as soon as Sebastian answered, "Is Lucas asleep?" Sebastian replied, "Yeah." Back home, Lucas was so wiped out that he just flopped straight into bed. Sebastian glanced at that sad lump lying under the cloud, then just kicked Allan out of the way without a second thought. 'What an eyesore, Sebastian thought to himself. Allan cursed inwardly, 'Shit!' With his brows furrowed and face expressionless, Sebastian stared at the rows of red roses in front of him. He reached out and started plucking off the cards with chibi tiger sharks one by one.

I'll have John go get it." The address popped up on his phone a second later. Sebastian shot John a look, and by the time John walked over, the call had already ended. "Go here," He paused, then added, "to pick up the cat." 'Pick up what?' John wondered, totally baffled. ***** Half an hour later, at the back door of the Underground Boxing Arena, John stared at the "cat" in front of him, his mind short-circuiting. Some time later, John finally blurted out, "Ms.

Carter, you call this a cat?" John gawked at the tiger towering over him, easily as tall as a grown man, with paws that looked like they could skin someone alive in one swipe. If he wasn't hallucinating, there was actual blood on its furry paws. A cat?' John thought, totally losing it. Stella lazily patted the tiger's head. "Yep, a cat. Roar for him, baba" Simba and John locked eyes.

John, Fabian, lurking in the shadows, and Declan, who'd been quiet the whole time, were at a loss for words. Seeing everyone stay silent, Simba thought maybe it messed up the meow. It tilted its head, then raised its paw and did the classic lucky cat pose. John, Fabian, lurking in the shadows, and Declan, who'd been quiet the whole time, were totally stunned. John instinctively glanced at Stella, who stood there with her arms crossed, looking totally unfazed.

"It's hungry," she said. 'Well, that's straightforward,' John thought.

She shot Declan a quick "hold on" gesture and turned to John. "It won't get in the car," John reported. Stella glanced at Simba, totally unfazed.

The tiger looked all kinds of pitiful, but it was stubborn as ever, refusing to budge. Declan poked his head in and teased, "Try calling him 'Your Highness' and ask him to get in the car?"

'Drive!' Simba thought impatiently. I'm starving!' John rolled his eyes. With a loud slam, John shut the door, but Simba's huge head stil managed to shove its way into the front seat. Way too cramped back here!' Simba grumbled. Forcing himself to stay calm, John shot Stella a look, then floore the gas. The car roared off like a rocket. 'Man, this tiger reeks!' John thought. Isn't it risky having a tiger at home? Declan finally found his voice. 'Seriously, there's gotta be some kind of permit or something, right?' Declan wondered. Stella gave him a look, her eyes unreadable.

She chased all our negotiators out, and now she's only got one demand." 3/4 12:01 Wed, Feb 11 GOO Chapter 344 Stella, totally unfazed, folded up her mask and stuffed it into her black jacket pocket.
