Samuel followed Serena into the side gallery. Seeing there were only a few

Serena chuckled softly, "I'm not staying to spite Aaron. I've realized something."

"Realized?"

"Yes, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I avoid Aaron? Besides, there are a lot of antiques here tonight that I haven't seen before. And I heard there's an auction. What if there's something I like? Missing out on a piece because of a man would be such a waste."

Seeing Serena's relaxed expression, Samuel smiled, "Alright, as long as you're happy."

Serena smiled back and was soon captivated by the antiques displayed in the side gallery.

Samuel watched her, a slight smile curling his lips.
