Standing before Archer was none other than Zelena, who had disappeared from the entertainment industry for several months! Archer certainly remembered Zelena.

Running into her here was quite unexpected.

Archer smirked slightly. "You? Do you even know how to bowl?"

Zelena's lips curled into a playful smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "How about we have a game after the ribbon-cutting?" Archer replied, "Not interested."
