Waldo didn’t fall for it. He stared at his back and commented, “Just look at your grandson. That woman has bewitched him!”
“Don’t get worked up again. It’s not good for your health,” Lucia uttered persuasively.
She kept silent for a few seconds and added, “I’ll speak to Stella in person.”
Waldo nodded in low spirits.

She thanked Fernando repeatedly.
Fernando’s voice wasn’t loud, but her colleagues around heard it.
They surrounded Stella and congratulated her once Fernando left the office.
Stella smiled and said calmly, “Thank you.”
Luna came over at this time.
Glancing at the crowd, she leaned on the cubicle divider and said mischievously, “It has been ages since one of us here got a special bonus. Stella, how about treating us to coffee to celebrate this milestone?”
The others concurred.
Stella decided not to allow Luna’s sarcasm spoil her mood.
She said with a smile, “In that case, I’ll go get everyone a cup of coffee. You all want different kinds, don’t you? Please send the specifics to me via text.”
At Stella’s generosity, Luna’s face fell and then twisted into a frown.
She was pissed as the others praised Stella to no end.
Thirty minutes later, Stella returned to the company with cardboard coffee carriers in both hands.
She was just about to take the elevator when she ran into Matthew who was waiting for it too.
