Bettie raised her eyebrows.
I pleasure myself using your photos.
Lance Carter! Im going to kill you! Betties face flushed with anger. She pushed him away and landed two punches on his chest.
Lance, grinning, dashed off, with Bettie chasing after him.

To onlookers, it seemed like playful flirting and chasing.
Reaching the elevator, Lance caught his breath and embraced Bettie, who was still trying to hit him. Okay, okay, to make it fair, you can look at my photos too and..
Enough!
If you dont have any of my photos, Ill take some for you when I get back
Lance! Shut up! Bettie stomped her feet.
As the elevator doors slid open, they stepped inside one after the other and headed down to the underground parking lot.
Around the corner, the woman in a mask had witnessed their interaction. She clenched her fists and her gaze dropped, a flash of malice crossing her eyes.
Had Sabrina been there, she would have recognized the masked woman as Alice.
Alice had come looking for Lance, following him to Centenia two days after he arrived.
Keilani had gotten Lances address from his secretary and passed it on to Alice.
Initially, Alice believed Lance was in Centenia on business, but she soon sensed something was amiss.
Lance had plenty of free time on his hands. He took the opportunity to inquire about the best local restaurants, food stalls, and tourist spots in Centenia. His trip wasnt for work. He was here to explore.
It wasnt until today that Alice pieced everything together. She realized Lance wasnt interested in Sabrina, but in Sabrinas friend, Bettie. Lance had traveled to Centenia not for work, but for Bettie.

The reason he had looked up Centenias dining and sightseeing spots beforehand was that he planned to take Bettie out today.
Alice felt a pang of jealousy.
Since Lance returned to the Wilson family, he had always been seen as gentle, mature, steady, and composed. No matter the situation, he remained unflappable, giving off the impression he had everything figured out and was always ready.
But Lance wasnt naturally gentle. It was all an act for business.
When he wanted to reject someones advances, he turned colder than anyone else.
It wasnt until today that Alice saw a new side of Lance. He could be quirky, tender, and playful. He could laugh freely, be assertive, and indulge in fun, acting like a kid
Alice bitterly realized this could be the real him. In Philade, Lance wasnt truly himself. It was only with Bettie that he showed his genuine side.
