The Next Morning
T U E S D A Y

Stacey : Good morning!
Lizbeth : Hi! Good morning! Did you come back late? I didn't hear you.
Stacey : Not too late. Before midnight.
Lizbeth : Oh okay! I hope you had fun.
Stacey : -smile-

Stacey
I did...

Lizbeth : How long have you two been together?
Stacey : Oh we're not together we- oh you're talking about Jonas.
Lizbeth : Yes?

Stacey
Shit! I forgot I had a boyfriend for a second...

This looks so bad...

Lizbeth
Jonas was here last night so I know she wasn't with him.

Damn is she cheating on him?

Stacey : Jonas and I broke up.

Stacey
Or we're about to.

Lizbeth : Oh I'm sorry to hear that.
Stacey : But to answer your question. We were together for a year.
Lizbeth : Oh okay.

Lizbeth
So he didn't cheat on me with her.
Things are clear then.

Stacey
I want to ask about her relationship but I don't know if I should....

Luke : Hi!
Stacey : Hey cutie!
Lizbeth : Do you want scrambled eggs?
Like : Mhm!
Lizbeth : Okay.
Stacey : Hey Lizbeth?
Lizbeth : Yes?
Stacey : Can I ask how you got in that relationship? Clearly you're not in love...
Lizbeth : I did it for my son.
Stacey : Oh...
Lizbeth : Logan isn't his biological father.
Stacey : Oh....
Lizbeth : My ex left when I was pregnant. I was in a desperate situation.
Stacey : Aw Lizbeth...
Lizbeth : I just didn't expect my life to get even worse.
Stacey : Hey, you're out of that situation. You're free from him.
Lizbeth : And it's all thanks to you. I really appreciate the help...
Stacey : No need to thank me.

Redwood Company

Jonas : Nice doing business with you. I can assure you we'll make some big deals.
Mr Redwood : That I'm sure of. You're a brilliant young man.

-knock-

Mr Redwood : Come in!
Arely : -walks in- Hey dad! Jonas? What are you doing here?
Jonas : He's your father?
Arely : Yes
Mr Redwood : You two know each other?
Arely : He's Stacey's "boyfriend".
Jonas : Look Arely-
Mr Redwood : Whatever you two problems may have, solve them outside.
Jonas : I apologize Stefan. I'll be on my way out now. -walks out-

Arely : Why was he here?
Mr Redwood : Business
Arely : Peace of advice? Don't make business deals with him. He's not trustworthy.
Mr Redwood : We already have a contract.
Arely : I hope you won't regret it...
