Lawrence Winters: "..."
She turned around and saw that her suitcase had indeed left a scratch on the floor.
And the flooring was indeed quite expensive, if she goes upstairs, the stairs might get scratched even more.
But hearing Kenneth Osborne say this felt rather awkward.
Who was he to her anyway?
Why should she listen to whatever he says?
Lawrence Winters' rebellious streak kicked in, she walked over to the door painted with Cupid, found the switch to open the elevator door, put her suitcase inside, then turned and walked up the stairs.
Although Kenneth Osborne's gaze was fixed on the code he was typing on his laptop, the corner of his eye was still observing Lawrence Winters' actions.
He noticed she did not heed his advice and instead walked towards the stairs, lifting his eyes in surprise.
But Lawrence Winters did not drag her suitcase; she only carried her small backpack and held on to the stair railings as she went upstairs.
