Bianca said she was waiting for someone.
"I'll head in first then," Wilbur said.
"Alright."
He had barely left when Seth arrived. Pressed for time, they hurried inside without exchanging many words.
Bianca habitually fell into step beside Seth, heading directly for the front row once they were inside. However, when she found his seat, she realized that only his name was on it, not hers.
What infuriated her even more was that Noreen's seat was right next to Seth's!
Seeing Noreen, Bianca's gaze turned icy.
Seth, however, didn't notice the subtle shift in her expression. He scanned the room and found her seat in the second-to-last row.
"I'll talk to the organizers and have them move you to the front," Seth told Bianca.
"There's no need to go to all that trouble," Bianca quickly stopped him. "I'm fine sitting back here. I can't always have you worrying about me."
"Are you sure?" Seth asked, still looking concerned.
Bianca smiled serenely. "I'm not a child."
"Alright, you should sit down. I'm going to my seat as well."
Bianca projected an image of a sensible and understanding partner, exuding the grace of a matriarch. Her eyes swept coldly over Noreen before she turned and walked calmly to her assigned seat.
