You pay for it? Lindsay questioned, taken aback.

Observing Stellas completion of the rent payment, Lindsay opted not to intervene. Gratefully, she remarked, Thank you. Ill treat you to dinner once I receive my salary.
Stella responded with a smile, I eagerly anticipate it.
As Lindsay clasped her hand, she affectionately stated, Stella, your beauty and kindness are remarkable. Matthew is truly fortunate to have you.

Ill arrange for your apartment to be cleaned later. Stella contemplated the impending move, considering the necessary preparations. Theres a nearby supermarket. Since youre moving in, you probably need to purchase plenty of daily essentials. Allow me to accompany you.
Agreed. Having you here is wonderful, said Lindsay happily.
The pair conversed and laughed as they made their way to the supermarket.
