As William Griffith was about to leave, Cherish's roommate May happened to return home. She was quite drunk and reeked of alcohol. Seeing William, for the first time she did not scold him or provoke him with words. She just glanced at him, quietly took off her high heels, walked to the living room in her silk stockings, and poured herself a glass of water.
Cherish Turner accompanied William Griffith to the entrance before closing the door behind him.
May was always careless and seemingly indifferent, but she rarely showed such a gloomy side. Cherish knew that May must be hiding something or feeling wronged. She picked up the slippers and walked over to May, putting them down next to her feet, "May, the floor is cold. Put them on."
