Chapter 191

After leaving Arcadia, the two continued to pack, chatting about everyday matters. Before long, it was noon and someone brought lunch over.

Three dishes and a soup, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, along with a bottle of high-proof vodka.

"I'm not a fan of alcoho. Should we send it back or keep it?"

"It is Bryce's thoughtfulness, we should keep it. Let's save it for Cooper. He enjoys a swig or two when he's bored."

"Woof." The boozy dog circled around Stella.

"Look at that, just mention alcohol and he gets excited."

Despite the chat, Stella had no intention of eating the base's food. Even though the chances of it being poisoned at this stage were slim, it still made her uneasy. She stowed it away in Arcadia, taking out their own stockpile.

Rosie, the little drama queen, complained while eating. "Jasper, this jerky is rancid, not as tasty as what Stella makes."

"No waste is allowed. There are people out there who can't even find tree bark to gnaw. When we get a chance, Stella will make you something yummy."

After lunch, they pulled all the curtains and went to sleep. They talked about anything that came to mind. Tired of talking, they slept, waking up around five o'clock. Someone came to inform them that the evening banquet was at seven o'clock. Out of respect for Mr. Bryce, Stella chose a clean outfit. She suspected there would be many women at the banquet, so she applied some lipstick to avoid being mistaken for a handsome man.

As for Rosie, she couldn't be more worried. She didn't want to bring her to the banquet, but she was worried about leaving her alone. Stella picked out a pair of jeans with suspenders and an inconspicuous cotton T-shirt for her.

Being fair, she also groomed Cooper's fur.

When it was about time, the three of them headed out. Leading the way was Cooper, moving with a fierce stride, as if he wanted to pounce on every moving leg.
