Alicia grabbed the thermos from Louis and helped him sit in a nearby chair. They talked for a bit before Alicia remembered she brought food for Sandra. She told the security guy, "Can you give the food to her?"
"You got it, boss." The security guy gave the bags he was holding to Sandra, pointing at the clothes next to them, saying, "Miss Valdez picked these clothes and shoes out."
Louis looked at the shopping bags, even socks were inside. His mood darkened. But then he remembered Alicia's stern face when she scolded Sandra earlier, and he felt better.
Sandra didn't say a word as she started unpacking the food. It was wrapped in three layers. The very inside was a ceramic pot filled with seafood rice. On top of the shiny rice were abalone, chicken, sea cucumber, and huge oyster mushrooms. The scent of the abalone sauce reached her noses.
Sandra frowned, saying with disgust, "I don't like this stuff."
