"That's not what I meant. I just didn't want to interrupt your time with Mrs. Gray," Alicia explained.

“We've been married forever. You wouldn’t be interrupting anything,” Randolph replied firmly. “Come on, let's go!”

Just as Alice was starting to feel trapped, she noticed Caden walking nearby. He was leaving with Gerry and a few others.

For a brief moment, she looked in his direction. Desperate for a way out, Alice hoped he would come closer, say something to her, and take her with him.

However, things never went the way she expected. Normally, she couldn't avoid Caden, but now, when she needed him, he was indifferent. He looked away, pretending not to notice her.

Alice was completely speechless.

Rachel then said, "Come, Miss Bennett. You bought me some jewelry today, and I still owe you. Let me pay you back with a meal."

Alicia noticed Rachel's rosy cheeks, and her expression was that of someone completely in love. Alicia's instincts told her that something was wrong. It seemed that Randolph and Rachel were planning something. Although Alicia had her own plans, if things got out of hand, everything could go wrong.

Just as she was looking for a way to refuse, she heard Gerry's voice from the doorway. "Alice!"

At that moment, his voice was a welcome relief. “What is it, Mr. Hopkins?” Alice turned to him.

He walked over to her and said, “Come with me. “Hank is already driving.”

Seizing the opportunity, Alice quickly said to Randolph, “Excuse me, Mr. Gray, but I have a business matter to discuss with Mr. Hopkins. Let's have that meal another time. “It’s on me.”

Randolph looked at Gerry, standing in the distance. Aware of Gerry's influential background, he did not press the matter further.
