The Shopping Plan

Valerie and Carol heard Stefan's voice and turned around.

Valerie's enthusiasm dissipated when she saw beside Stefan, Sarah was also moving towards them holding Stefan's hand.

Valerie consoled her emotions and pulled a wide smile onto her face. "Hey, Stefan, good morning, merry Christmas and Sarah to you too."

Both Stefan and Sarah looked at each other and smile towards Valerie. "Good morning Valerie and merry Christmas." Both said in unison.

Valerie ignored Sarah and approached Stefan. "Stefan, you could have told me, I would accompany you for the morning walk."

Valerie has ulterior intentions in mind, she wanted to spend time with Stefan so that she can find out what in his heart.

Stefan neither has such feelings in his heart for Valerie, nor he realized Valerie still has ambiguous thoughts for him.

He was puzzled by Valerie's approach and does not find any excuse to answer Valerie.

Sarah saw his depression and handled the situation.
