Seeing Chloe remain silent, Zooey gave her a once-over and said, "Ms. Nelson, I assume you're here representing Bright Moon International. Why aren't you with your boss? Wandering off like this doesn't reflect well on your professionalism." Chloe recalled that Victoria had a friend named Zooey, who was also Monica's stepmother and shared the same last name.
