Stella was still decorating Lawrence's room when Carol came back. She went ahead to prepare some food for Lawrence.
Stella spent more than half an hour decorating the room.
"Doctor Grace, thank you so much for coming. Please give me a moment. Lunch should be done soon. Please join us before you leave," Carol said happily, seeing that Lawrence was finally eating.
"Thank you for the offer but I have to take a raincheck. I have an appointment in the afternoon. Have a good rest after your meal. Lawrence, see you next week," Stella said with a smile.
"See you," Lawrence said politely.
Stella nodded and left. She drove to the research center, found a nearby coffee shop, ordered a steak, a latte, and a chocolate cake.
She read an article before that said that having sweet food would improve one's mood, and listening to beautiful music could relax the mind, but eating a good meal could satisfy all the above.
