Matthew didnt say anything, but he obviously didnt agree with her.
Im fine anyway, so dont go overboard and force other people into a hopeless situation, Lindsay added imploringly.
She then turned to Stella and winked at her, secretly asking her to help convince Matthew.
Stella pondered for a few seconds before she eventually agreed.
She then helped convince Matthew not to pursue the matter any further.
Due to Stellas words, Matthew didnt insist anymore.
Lindsay secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject. Can you help me lie to Grandma and not tell her about the robbery and my injury? she begged Stella. I dont want her to worry unnecessarily.
Of course. No problem, Stella agreed. Ill call Lucia later and tell her that youve just returned from abroad and arent settled in yet, so youll be staying with me for a while.
A sweet smile curved Lindsays lips. Im lucky to have you. If I were alone when this happened, I wouldnt know what to do. Im really grateful.
Matthew looked at her injured arm. Since youre hurt, you shouldnt rush to work. Focus on recovering first.
Lindsay chuckled. You dont have to make a big deal out of it. Youre making me feel like Im crippled or something.
Dont joke like that, Stella chided.
A mischievous look crossed Lindsays eyes, and she turned to Matthew.

I talked to Grandpa and Grandma last night, she said. I dont want to jump right into a senior manager position in your company. I want to start from the bottom and learn from you first. They agreed, so its up to you now.

Matthew didnt mind at all. LL have Fernando help train you, he told her.
The three of them entered the living room as they talked.
Stella got a room ready for Lindsay. Its been cleaned. If you need anything, just let me know, okay?
Thank you, Lindsay said gratefully.
Youre welcome. You must be tired after walking all day, so rest up first, Stella said. Then she left the room, closing the door behind her.
Lindsay lay on the bed and rolled over, staring at the ceiling with a meaningful smile on her face.
Meanwhile, after leaving the room, Stella took out her phone and called Lucia.
Lucias gentle voice drifted into her ears. Stella, why are you calling so suddenly? Did you go apartment hunting with Lindsay today? Is everything all right?
Stella remembered Lindsays words and kept the mugging a secret.
Everythings fine, she assured. I called to let you know that Lindsay just got back from abroad, so Im letting her stay in Prosper Bay for a few days to help her get settled.
