Selah, clearly embarrassed, apologized, Im so sorry, Elaine is
I might have spoiled her too much.
Lindsey shook her head reassuringly, Its fine, Selah. Dont worry about it.
Lindsey then waved at Elaine with a kind smile. Elaine, Im not here to harm. Please dont misunderstand. Ill be off now. Next time, Ill bring you some tasty treats and toys, okay?
Tucked in Selahs embrace, Elaine sniffled and sneaked a peek at Lindsey with her big eyes.
Lindsey offered a smile and made her exit, gently closing the door behind her.
Once outside Selahs apartment, Lindsey planned to discuss her situation with Sumner with Vincent.
Arriving at Vincents company, Lindsey was halted by the receptionist.
Apologies, Miss Stewart. Vincent has decided not to meet you and Miss Potter before the public audition to avoid any suspicion.
And Jayleen and Kristy? inquired Lindsey.
The receptionist replied, Hes not meeting them either.

Lindsey got the point. Vincents decision to avoid contact was to ensure a transparent and fair audition process, preventing any hot topic for public gossip or controversy.
Understandable as it was, Lindsey still pondered her situation with Sumner

.
After a moments thought, Lindsey dialed Vincents number. Soon, Vincent answered.
Hi, Lindsey. Whats going on?
Mr. Lopez, I saw your post. No worries, Selah will surely ace the audition in a week.
I have faith in her, thats why I made this choice. As long as you understand, Vincent responded warmly yet earnestly.
Well Lindsey inhaled deeply, then spoke up, Actually, Sumner and I
Vincent interjected, Oh, that was just my take on Twitter. Youre adults; make your own choices. I dont interfere. But Lindsey, youre young and new to the workforce. Be cautious; dont be swayed easily by sweet talk. Choosing a partner is a life-altering decision. Be sensible. I cant speak for others, but Ive seen Sumner grow. Hes intelligent, kind-hearted, passionate, and genuine. Much like you, hes one of the good ones.
Got it. Thanks for the advice. With that, Lindsey ended the call.
She exhaled, feeling relieved yet pressured. It seemed even Vincent, like many elders, was keen on playing matchmaker.
Meanwhile, Vincent pocketed his phone. Paige approached, inquiring, How did it go? What did Lindsey say?
Vincent sighed as he observed Paiges anxious expression. Sumner has fallen into an unrequited love with Lindsey.
Paige, unreconciled, retorted, I dont believe Lindsey could find a better match than Sumner. Im certain shell be his girlfriend. I wont easily give her to anyone else.
