Dexter seemed to have seen through everything.
Angela was taken aback and felt uneasy. Despite grasping the situation, Dexter had still chosen to play along with her performance.

She personally selected her dress and ordered a suit for Dexter, ensuring they were flown in just in time. On the day of the event, she delivered it to him.
Her dress was a classic dark green hand-embroidered piece, beautifully complemented by silver high heels that accentuated her stunning figure. The addition of a green hair accessory added an extra touch of elegance to her look.
Dexter's suit mirrored her style, featuring a suit crafted in a rich dark green. At first glance, their outfits looked somewhat alike.

"Just ignore them. Pretend they aren't there," Dexter suggested suddenly, breaking his silence in a calm tone. It was the first thing he'd said all day.
