She stops walking the moment she sees Serene. Her chest tightens and her mind flashes back to the night before. Serene smiles like nothing has happened. The mall suddenly felt over crowded... too loud. Sere even goes ahead to hug her. "Audrey! Oh my God, where have you been?" she asked, feigning innocence as she wraps her arms around her. this same hands were the ones used to betray her that night.
Elsewhere, Nathan noticed Audrey had been gone for long so he went in search of her as Jane made payment for their items. He's eyes narrowed when he saw Serene with Audrey. He pulls Audrey from Serene's embrace immediately he got there. His voice was calm but sharp. "You should stay away from her". After Serene was pushed that she realized Audrey has been stiff the whole time. She then realized Audrey and Nathan knew she was involved in the incident that happen the day before. She becomes nervous but hides it. " And why should I stay away from my friend?" She asked nervously. They all stood there looking at her with scrutinizing eyes. Just then Jane walked in.
" What is this lady doing here?" Jane asked with rage. " Haven't you done enough already?" She asked again as she continues to approach her. All this while, Audrey was silently looking at her with Nathan standing by her side. Audrey knew she had to step in or Jane will do something regretful. They had nobody to defend them. Jane being her elder sister has always been her shield. She knew Jane will beat Serene up if given the chance and it will land her in prison. They already had too many enemies who will like to see them fail and in trouble. "Nathan please stop Jane" she said softly and Nathan moved swiftly to stop Jane from touching Serene.
