A week has passed since Stellar accepted Lotus's offer. Lotus struck a deal that all Stellar had to do was pay the utilities and keep the place tidy until she finds another place to move in. Now that was a deal that Stellar could say no to.
The madam added that it was obvious how Stellar was in desperate need of a place to stay and Lotus happened to have an available option for her.
Stellar, no matter how much her conscience told her not to sign on the dotted line, didn't want to turn down Lotus's offer.
That deal was at a discount price and she could save thousands of money, although it was awkward receiving help from practically a stranger.
So, at first, Stellar told Lotus that she wanted to inform Holden about his mom's offer because she didn't want him to feel as if she was using his family for her own gains, but Cooper was quick to swoop in and told her he'd be the one to tell Holden since Stellar would be busy packing up.
