"Are you certain you want us to dine at your place, Soplita? Chris Inquired.

"Why don't we consider Vancouver First Restaurant instead? It's on ine."

"I appreciate it, but I'm really not feeling up to it. You know what's been troubling me," Sophia sighed.

"Don't worry about it. My dad is already working his connections. He'll inform me if there's any positive news about Kingston Enterprise.'

"You must be joking!" Chris scoffed, shaking his head. "Didn't you notice the license plate?" "But-"

"That car clearly belongs to someone wealthy or significant. There's no way Alex could be in it. He can't even afford a used motorcycle, let alone a luxury car," Chris sneered.

"If Alex was in that car, I'd record myself eating dog poop Chris added with a smirk.

"Alright, you're probably right. I must have imagined it."

Lyra shook her head and chuckled.

"Yeah, you must be. Otherwise, Chris is going to end up eating dog poop on YouTube," Sophia teased, nudging Lyra playfully.

"Sorry, I just can't visualize that. Haha."

They all laughed and got into their car.
