Drake's face darkened. He grabbed the candy wrapper and tossed it into the trash.
"Marion was talking nonsense," he said.
Debra grinned, confirming his love for candy. "Whatever."
As she turned to leave, Drake suddenly added, "Thank you."
"Huh? For what?" She looked back.
"Forget it," he said, looking away.
"Alright, I get it." She turned around and waved her hand. "The candy was swiped from the plane. You can take some next time if you want."
He threw a pillow at her, but she had already left. The pillow hit the closed door and fell to the floor.
...
Jordan had already arranged a room for Debra. It wasn't the one she used to share with Marion.
"Thanks."
"What if Marion comes to find you?"
"We'll deal with it when he does."
"Alright, get some rest. If you need anything, just call me."
"Alright. I won't be shy."
She entered the room and turned on her phone. The notification was full of messages from Erica, mostly asking if she had arrived in Seamar City.
"Alright." Randy obediently handed the suitcase back to her.
Despite her high heels, Erica carried a suitcase in each hand and smoothly strode out of the airport.
...
Debra, who was up early, pulled back the curtains.
Outside, Erica was seen pulling her suitcase, with Randy trailing right behind.
Debra knew they'd be back, but she didn't expect them to return so soon.
A guard stopped them. "Miss Mathis, I'm sorry, but Mr. Jordan Potter is not seeing guests."
