As Lydia was about to rebuff him, Hannah interjected, “Show him the video you took and see if he notices anything amiss.”
“Alright.”
Lydia retrieved her phone and played the video, then handed it to Brayden.
“It’s from today.”
The video unfolded and Lydia narrated the events to Brayden.
As her narrative unfolded and the video progressed, Brayden’s expression grew increasingly grave.
Ultimately, Brayden remained utterly silent. Lydia, overcome by curiosity, turned her head and observed him manually adjusting the progress bar.
“Haven’t you seen enough?”
“It does feel like something’s amiss…” Brayden eventually replied.
Growing more intrigued, Lydia took the phone into her own hands, watching the video with her head lowered multiple times.
“I still can’t discern what’s wrong. What’s the issue?”

“The reactions of Eliana and Alick seem off,” Hannah explained.
“Huh?” Lydia looked puzzled, rewinding the progress bar for another inspection.
“But didn’t Alick swipe the card for Eliana to taunt Declan? What’s so peculiar about that?”
Brayden, seated behind them, interjected with a composed tone, “Take note of Eliana’s bashful expression. There’s undoubtedly something between them.”

“Really? Why can’t I see it?” Lydia turned to Hannah, who occupied the driver’s seat.
“Hannah, do you also think something is awry here?”
“Yes, my sentiments align with Brayden‘s.”
“Wow!” Lydia marveled aloud as she tinkered with her phone.
“I can’t see it at all. You two possess remarkable investigative skills. You could easily switch to paparazzi instead of running a company.”
Hannah inquired of Lydia, “You were present too. Did you not observe anything unusual between them then?”
Lydia pondered for a moment, scratched her head and chuckled, “I didn’t notice anything amiss but I was too busy contemplating buying loads of clothes to annoy Alick. I paid no heed to what was unfolding between them. Should I return and scrutinize Alick more closely?”
Lydia’s eyes sparkled.
“Or should I seize an opportunity to inspect Alick’s phone?”
