Ivan's straightforward confession led Lia Aiken to decline Lena's invitation after leaving Valence Group. She chose not to return to the hotel with her father, but instead took a car alone to her senior's gallery.
She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
Charlotte Lewis had visitors, so Lia did not disturb her but found a corner to sit by herself.
Only after Charlotte sold a painting and turned around did she notice Lia.
"Lia, when did you arrive? You're so quiet, I didn't even notice," Charlotte approached her with concern and asked, "Didn't Lena pick you up? Why isn't she here?"
Lia raised her eyes to look at Charlotte and asked, "Senior, do you have time now?"
Charlotte nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll order two takeouts first. What do you want to eat?"
"Anything, I'm not picky." She didn't have the luxury to be picky.
