Chapter 301: Early Lunch (2/2)

”He didn't actually give me a letter. He instructed me over the phone call to type it.” Stanly replied to her. ”And just told me who I should deliver it to.”

”And you didn't bother to stop him?” Stella looked at the man across her with utter bafflement. She couldn't believe her ears for the second time in the same day. ”Aren't you too insensitive?” She stared at the man across her.

”Do you think I knew what he was about to do?” Stanly shook his head. ”I had no idea what was going through the man's mind. If I did I would have called Mr. Carston. When I asked him when I should deliver the letter? He replied that I will know it on my own.”

His words once again left Stella speechless. How could someone like Taylor be so selfless right before he killed himself? What was so important he needed to tell her? She couldn't help but be curious about the letter.

Seeing that the lady had recovered from the shock, the man thought it would be better to give her some time on her own. His eyes shifted to the mug before him which was still half filled. ”I shall take my leave then.” He muttered with a heavy heart as he stood up from the couch.

”Thank you.” Stella mumbled softly without looking up. Her eyes were still glued to the envelope with her fingers tapping the transparent glass top of the table.

”I was just doing my job.” Stanly replied only to get a nod in response from her. He nodded his head as he made his way out of the living.

A man who was clad in the same uniform as the maid who had received him when he arrived, was waiting right outside the door of the living room to guide him outside the mansion.

”Lunch is ready, Young Mistress.” A maid walked in and spoke up from a distance to get her attention.

”I will be in my room. Make sure that nobody disturbs me. I will come downstairs for lunch when I feel like eating.” Stella spoke up in a firm tone as she got off the couch. Picking up the envelope from the tale she made her way out of the living hall while the maid continued to stand in her place with her head bowed down. She didn't have any other choice but to listen to the lady of the house though they were under strict orders to prepare an early lunch for her.
