The married woman was sensible to keep a distance from him while talking However, she engaged in chatter and laughter with another man anyway
After breakfast, Zane and the group went to host the big shot, who came for an inspection.
Lianne got the jitters since she had never met such a prominent figure
Nevertheless, the butterflies in her stomach disappeared when the big shot sucked up and addressed Zane formally instead
