The butler's face went pale with worry. "Sir..."

Stella tugged at Ronald's sleeve. "They did clear it earlier, but the temperature's just too low."

Hearing Stella's explanation, the butler looked at her with gratitude.

She was right. They had cleared the ice just half an hour ago. In fact, they'd been at it all day. But with the constant snowfall and chilly weather, it was a losing battle. Ronald glanced down at Stella's shoes. "Change into something more appropriate."

Stella was about to go upstairs when her phone buzzed. It was Susanna, practically hyperventilating on the other end.
