Checking her clothes, Emma noticed two missing buttons on her shirt.

She dared not linger. Handing Jessie the bag, she said, “Mr. Waston brought this himself."

Jessie refused to wear the clothes Albert had offered, even though hers own weren't really presentable at the moment.

"I don't want to wear it," she declared, her voice tinged with a nasal quality.

Emma found herself in an uncomfortable situation but chose not to push the issue. She observed as Jessie cleverly hid the spot where the buttons were missing with her handbag and made her way to the elevator. Her strides were decisive, leaving Emma moved by her determination.
