Stella Sterling stood with her hands behind her back, not saying a word.
Roman Rhodes didn't respond right away either.
Instead, he pulled her hands from behind her back. Looking down, he saw a red burn mark on the web of her thumb.
Stella was embarrassed to be so affectionate in front of Jude Langley.
She tried to pull her hand back, saying it was nothing.
A moment ago, when she was startled by Jude Langley's sudden appearance, her hand had trembled, splashing a few drops of hot tea on the back of her hand.
It wasn't serious, but her skin was so fair that the red mark stood out.
Jude Langley leaned in for a look, took a drag from his cigarette, and teased, "Need a trip to the hospital?"
Roman Rhodes rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb and shot Jude a look, his eyebrow raised. "Are you trying to get me to show you the door?"
Jude Langley was agreeable. "You two do your thing. I'm in no rush."
