Walking into the elevator lobby, she saw Susanna sitting on the sofa.

Upon seeing Stella, she quickly got up and embraced her, "Honey, a man is worth nothing. I'll hook you up with someone way hotter tomorrow." Stella simply nodded, "Okay."

Susanna, comforting her, was puzzled by Stella's unusual calmness.

"Oh my God! Are you hurt? Where's the injury?"

Stella glanced down to find a few droplets of blood on her beige coat.

"Probably Ursula's or Yorick's."

"What?!"

"I gave Ursula and Yorick some beating."
