However, Lizetta wasn't looking at him; she flashed a smile at Remington.
"It's not sudden, I used to call him that before."
Back in the day, when Lizetta first started working at the Starlight Group's secretary's office, Cedric had been a great help to her, and that's how she, along with the other newbies, used to call him.

"No need!"
Yolanda opened her eyes, straightening up in Lizetta's embrace, and said to Remington again,
