THE sudden question surprised Reas. But, in a way, from the perspective of Lauren's agent, it's only natural for him to ask such a question. After all, if a scandal should occur, he would be the one in charge of damage control. So, he had to make sure, just in case.
Looking at the other's very serious expression, Reas honestly said, "We're friends."
And that's the truth: their relationship could only be called 'friends'—at least for now.
He saw the agent let out a visible sigh of relief after he said that.
