When they arrived outside Platinum Club, Cordy alighted. Sean told her. "Call me anytime you need me. I'd be on standby 24/7 as long as you're in the capital."
"Why are you being this nice?" Cordy blurted, unable to help herself.
Most of the time, she could accept things as they were—or to put it bluntly, she didn’t regard it with that much importance.
In other words, she was fine with however Sean would treat her.
And yet, her curiosity suddenly got the better of her.
Sean was in turn silent for a couple seconds before replying nonchalantly, "It's my first impression of you, I guess. You looked affable when I first laid eyes on you."
Cordy was speechless, but she would give a perfect score to that answer which answers nothing.
The Cranstons were certainly as sly as foxes.
"Drive safe," she told him politely.
Sean smiled, and drove away.
He was being honest, but Cordy was obviously skeptical.
However, her Aunt Evelyn may have played a huge role in that impression too. She had been kind to him when he was a child.
It was a pity they could never meet again.

Cordy headed right inside Platinum Club, where Maron was waiting.
He was returning abroad tomorrow; after the unpleasant dinner last night, he decided to make time for Cordy over tea.
As Cordy strode into the VVIP room, she paused.
She had the impulse to turn and leave when she saw Lucas inside—she had assumed Maron wouldn’t try to get them in the same room again after their disagreement last night.
