The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 254

Stella shot a glance at Rachel before picking up her phone and dialing a number. Rachel hadn't quite figured out what Stella was doing when the call connected.

Stella's voice was firm as she spoke, "Ms. Pearce mentioned she's got a concert coming up and is worried about injuring her hands. She thinks you'd be upset, so she's turning down the job of sorting herbs. Mr. Burton doesn't keep idle hands around, so it might be best if you take Ms. Pearce back."

There was a lengthy silence on the other end before a voice finally responded, "Let me speak with Rachel."

Stella handed the phone to Rachel.

Rachel had already deduced who was on the other end of the line. Her voice quivered as she spoke, "Haynie, I'm just scared that if I hurt my hands, it would affect my violin playing... You know, we violinists even insure our hands."

Haynes replied, "I'll send over some specially made gloves. They won't let your hands get injured."

Rachel was momentarily at a loss for words.

Upon noticing her silence, Haynes added, "I have a meeting coming up, so unless there's anything else, I'm going to hang up now."
