The Wrong Woman

Candice panicked and quickly explained, "No, he's my friend's brother. We just met."

Wendell nodded in greeting, "Hello."

Josie smiled but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she asked, "Which showtime are you here for?"

"7:00 pm, Theater 2," Wendell replied.

Josie remarked, "That's unfortunate. We're here for the 6:45 pm show in Theater 6."

Candice forced a smile. She politely smiled, "Yes, that's unfortunate."

Just then, Vanessa walked over with popcorn and drinks. She handed some to Wendell while glancing at Josie.

Seeing that they were indeed a group of three, Josie pretended to be in a hurry. She said, "I can't chat anymore. Leo will worry if I'm gone too long. I gotta go." With that, Josie turned and left.
