Stella hadn’t planned on talking to Skyler, but considering she still needed the Williams family’s help with her academic credentials, she gave a small nod.

Just as she was about to leave, Nicolle spoke up as well.

“Ms. Cameron, I’d like to have a chat with you later too, if you’re free?”

Seeing Nicolle, Stella could guess it was probably about Antoney.

She agreed, “Of course, Mr. Watson.”

Aurora alone remained, lingering in the room.

Mr. Burton glanced at her, his expression unreadable.

“Aurora, aren’t you joining them?”

Aurora gave a small laugh and shook her head.

“No, I don’t think Ms. Cameron wants me there right now.”

Stella’s expression was cool. “And why not?”
