Walter enjoyed chatting with Seraphina and peppering her with questions.

Meanwhile, Monica seemed uncharacteristically cold, though she was exceptionally warm towards Jennifer.

After dinner, Jennifer offered to make dessert.

Monica pulled Hansen along to help.

Seraphina and Monica sat facing each other. Monica's smile faded as she reached into her purse, pulling out a check and placing it on the table in front of Seraphina. Seraphina was puzzled.

She looked down at the check-one million dollars.

"This is...?" she asked.

Monica gave a small, disdainful smile.

She explained, "That's the payment for the painting. Though I know it's not worth that much, we have known each other for a long time; just consider it a little something for your trouble."
