She asked and touched her shoulder. The woman flinched from the touch and looked at Lauren with wide eyes. "Wh—what?"

Later that night, Loretta decided to gist Lauren about Kendrick. “Okay, I’m listening,” Lauren said with all seriousness.

she greeted, walking away quite majestically, with a proud smile. "Damn you Wanda," Lauren fumed, her teeth gritted tight. She gulped down the content of her glass in a split second and winced loudly in pain from the contact the tequila had with her bruised inner mouth. "Careful darling," Wanda said loudly from the other end of the living room before disappearing. 'Beeeeeep!' Lauren's phone vibrated. 'ALERT! There is an attempt to breach the Robles Corp system.' "What?!" Lauren whisper-yelled in confusion. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, "Rachel! That witch!" She immediately made a call.

She asks sweetly and I happily nod my head while Lucas just stares at her. “So to start with the most obvious one. No, I am not his sister, we just work together.” She answers and my eyes widen. “Oh god.

I am happily married with a kid. Lucas and I are just coworkers. Well, I am his boss actually.”
