I was visiting my mom in the hospital. I massaged her hand while answering Stella.

Alicia bumped into Louis Aldridge in the Dreamscape District, and at the time, Louis was having dinner with a company’s head. This company was one of Whitmore Co’s strongest competitors. They had a huge rivalry over resources a few years back.
