The lighter made a crisp sound as Bill lit the cigarette. He took a long drag on his cigarette before saying, "I have what you're looking for. In thirty minutes. I'll be downstairs at your office.”

Hearing that, Anna remembered him telling her the other day that someone had vandalized the school bus.

"Okay, III see you later," Anna said, increasingly curious about what Bill intended to do.

After hanging up the phone, Anna didn't return to the stage. Instead, she snuck out of the side door. While driving to Lemon's office, she received a phone call from Nancy.

"Anna, you've got to be kidding me! The final results will be announced soon! Where the hell are you?"

Anna said with a smile, "Of course, it would be you. Since you helped me in the beginning, you should help me to the end. You'll have to do that for me because | set you up with Joshua.”

He raised his brows slightly, unaffected by what Anna had said. "Mind if Ihave a cigarette?" he asked, taking his cigarette and lighter from his side pocket. And he had taken out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and pulled out
