After a moment, she sized Stella Lockwood up again before it suddenly dawned on her. "Oh, I know! You must be Miss Lockwood, the one who was trending online with Mr. Quinn..."
"Yes, that's me."
"Oh my, you're even prettier in person than on TV."
Stella Lockwood smiled, a little embarrassed, and touched her cheeks. "Oh, you're too kind, Missie Frances."
"You are, you're truly beautiful. And your skin is flawless..." Missie Frances gushed.
Stella Lockwood simply pursed her lips into a smile. 'Sean Quinn is a difficult person to get along with, but Missie Frances is so kind. She makes you feel instantly at ease.'
"Missie Frances, please bring a pot of herbal tea to the study. Also, put a fresh set of sheets on the bed in the bedroom..." Sean Quinn said, leading the way inside. He called over his shoulder, "Stella, this way..."
Missie Frances went to do as she was told.
Stella Lockwood followed him upstairs and into the study on the third floor.
