There were three men and an elevator attendant inside.
The three men were Bernard and his two friends. When the elevator door opened, Bernard was momentarily stunned to see Hera and Samantha standing there.
His first thought was, "What is she doing here?"
His second thought was his guilt. He had told Hera he was going back to the Killians.
Shaun, on the other hand, looked like he was enjoying a show.
He thought, "Oh boy, Bernard, your girlfriend is here to check on you."
But soon, they realized something was off. Samantha was supporting Hera, who looked drunk and dazed.
Samantha discreetly nudged Hera with her elbow, trying her best to get Hera to sober up.
However, Hera was unaware of the situation. She pushed Samantha aside and staggered into the elevator. When she almost fell, Bernard reached out to steady her.
Hera clung to his hand to stand properly. When she looked up, a dazzlingly handsome face came into view.
She giggled and said, "Hello, handsome. You're pretty good-looking. Can you give me a smile?"
As she spoke, she reached out to touch Bernard's face.
The elevator attendant was horrified.
"Where did this young lady come from? How dare she flirt with Bernard Killian like this?"
Shaun was surprised to find out what sort of girlfriend Bernard had.
Theo had his own thoughts as well. He didn't think he'd ever live to see the day Bernard would be teased like that.
Meanwhile, Samantha thought about how her dear friend would regret this the following day.
"Your skin is so nice," Hera said as she pinched and poked Bernard's face.
"But still, you're not as handsome as my boyfriend."
Hera giggled as she spoke.
