When Stanley saw them, he raised his hands and waved. “Yulia, Nat, this way!”
Natalie smiled and walked over to him with Yulia, each of them leading one child.
“I’m so sorry Stanley, did we make you wait for a long time?” Natalie was very apologetic.
“Nah, I just got here.” Stanley got up and helped Yulia pull out her chair. “Please take a seat, Yulia.”
Yulia smiled happily at him. “You are so considerate.”
“My pleasure.” Stanley pushed his glasses back before helping Natalie and the two children pull out their chairs. Finally, he took a seat.
After that, Stanley handed the menu to Yulia. “Take a look to see what you’d like to eat, Yulia.”
“I’ll take my pick now.” Yulia picked up the menu and looked at it together with the two children.
Stanley placed a plate of tiny desserts in front of Natalie, “Your favorite dessert.”
“Thank you.” Natalie smiled.
Stanley took a sip from his glass of water. “I heard from Jacqueline that you fell down together with her today. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just that I have a bit of a scrape on my arm. Mr. Shane has already helped me apply medication.” Natalie picked up a piece of the dessert with her fork before placing it in her mouth.
Stanley’s eyes grew cold. “Mr. Shane?”
“Yes?” Natalie nodded.
Stanley used his glass to hide his downturned lips. “Why would he apply medication for you?”
“I don’t know. He came to my apartment to look for me.” Natalie shrugged.
Stanley stroked his glass and did not say anything in response. The sinister look in his eyes could make one shudder.
