Stella wore stockings, and some of the hot water splashed onto them, causing a sudden burning sensation followed by a pickling pain.
She then quickly pulled the stockings away from her skin.
Larry was shocked. He immediately bent down to pick up the broken pieces and apologized to Stella.
Stella waved her hand. “It’s fine. Be careful not to cut your hand.”
Upon hearing the noise from the next room, Xavier rushed over, saw what happened, and checked on Stella. Ms. Hall, are you okay?’ he asked.
Stella nodded, i’m fine. Please ask the janitor to clean this up.”
After making sure that Stella was okay, he went out to call for the janitor.
Larry held the thermos cup lid in his hand, looking a bit pale as if he had been startled.
Stella rubbed the area where the hot water had splashed onto her and said to Larry, after seeing him still standing there, ‘Go to the back office tomorrow and get a new thermos cup. These glass ones shatter easily and are not safe to use.”
Then, she remembered the chocolates and the voucher in her hand and handed them to him. “You can go now, and don’t worry about this.
Someone will come to clean it up later. Don’t be late and disappoint your son.
His birthday only comes once a year.”
Larry took them, thanked Stella, and turned around to leave.
In Unit 902 of Clouditude International, Felicity pulled Stella aside, glanced at Keegan in the kitchen, and asked softly, “Didn’t he lose his memory? Why did you bring him here?” ‘Vermont hasn’t told her about it?’ Stella could not believe it.
