An hour later, Sherry heard the doorbell ring just as she was about to go to bed.

As she was walking towards the door, she was wondering who could be at the door as she did not purchase anything online nor order any deliveries. She opened the door and it was Stella.

Sherry was puzzled and asked, “Stella, what’s up…”

Stella had the password to her lock and she had no need to ring the doorbell.

Elaine stuck her head out from behind Stella; her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying. She then whimpered, “I’m sorry, Sherry.”

Sherry paused and asked, “How are you?”

Elaine nodded, “I’m fine, but you…”

Sherry then said, “Let’s not mention about what had happened. Come in first.”

Though hearing Sherry's words, Elaine still could not forgive herself. She drooped her head and followed behind Stella.

Sherry sat on the sofa, stretched her back and asked, “I’m hungry, have you eaten?”

Stella said, “No, what do you feel like eating? I’ll cook.”

Sherry held her back, “Sit down and have a rest. We can order take-outs. There is a new Korean restaurant that opened nearby. I heard that the food is rather good. I always wanted to try it.”

She said as she took her cellphone and asked Stella, “Shall… I order some for Mr. Conrad?”

Stella smiled, “No need.”

Sherry was relieved, “Okay.”

She asked Elaine, “Elaine, what would you like?”

Elaine, sitting on the sofa, was clearly not at ease. She quickly looked up when she heard Sherry calling her, “Oh? Me? Anything… I… I’m not hungry…”
