Stella looked shocked she slightly moved away from Gemma, not believing that she knew all about what she just told her and still said that she has forgiven her. 

Gemma smiled as she reached out and held Stella's hand, covering it with hers. When Stella had called her last night and told her that she wanted to reach out, Gemma suspected that she was going to talk about this. 

"Miguel explained everything to me, and I know that what you did was wrong, the most important thing is that you've learned from your mistake," she said in a low tone. 

Stella's eyes were teary as she raised her head to look at Gemma. "I'm so sorry, all those times you thought you could trust me while I was busy telling on you to your husband, my conscience was pricking me and I…"

"Stella, that's all in the past now, it's fine. Besides, Miguel told me you weren't so forth coming with the assignment," Gemma said with a smile.
