It wasn't just him; several others around him also stood up. They followed Felix Lawrence and sincerely thanked Stella Sterling.
If not for Stella Sterling's timely warning that afternoon, their injuries would have been far worse. Felix Lawrence, for one, had his back to the floor-to-ceiling window; if he'd been even a moment slower, he would have been killed.
As far as Felix Lawrence was concerned, Stella Sterling had saved his life.
This sudden gesture from Felix Lawrence and the others made the expressions on the faces of the others in the room shift. Some scoffed dismissively, while others, though they remained seated, looked at Stella Sterling with a trace of gratitude.
"You're too kind."
Stella Sterling raised an eyebrow. Although she offered a polite phrase, her posture showed she accepted their thanks without hesitation.
She walked over to them. 'Even if it was just a casual warning on my part, it did save their lives. I've earned their gratitude.'
