He was about to say hi to Bernard when he saw Bernard stop Hailey: "Ms. Vulpe, can I have a minute?"
Hailey stopped in her tracks and turned to Bernard: "Mr. Laurence, what's up?"
Bernard gestured towards the outside of the villa, indicating for her to follow: "Let's talk outside."
Hailey nodded and followed Bernard outside. After a brief exchange, Hailey took off.
Taking advantage of Bernard's absence, Cedric turned to Eleanor: "Eleanor, is there anything you want?"
"What are you up to?"
Cedric pointed to Hailey, who just left, hoping Eleanor could do him a favor: "Can you find out who she's being set up with? Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
Eleanor, standing in front of the dining table, looked at Cedric and said, "Are you really into Hailey?"
Cedric was a bit confused by the question: "What do you mean by 'really into'?"
Seeing his reaction, Eleanor knew that he hadn't figured out his feelings yet and sighed: "If you like Hailey, go after her and give her a promising future. If not, just let her go on a blind date."
The mere mention of a blind date made Cedric irritated: "Fine, never mind."
With that, Cedric turned and left.
"I'm not refusing to help you, but I know that Hailey has always wanted a family. She made many sacrifices in her first marriage but was ultimately disappointed. I don't want her to get hurt again in her second marriage. I hope you understand."
