Fine, don't reply, then. Who cares?" Blake refused to be disrespected. She blocked Kevin and permanently deleted his contact, thinking, ‘Don't you dare ask to be added back.’ She then informed Cecilia, "Ms. Stamford, | couldn't reach Mr. Harrison. He's blocked me!" Cecilia snapped, "What use are you then?" Blake kept her distance and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Stamford. It won't happen again."

When Zach arrived at his office, he received a call from Margaret, "Mr. Jardin, there was a woman at the door acting quite aggressively and looking for Ms. Jent earlier. Luckily we didn't let her in." Zach asked, "How is Madelyn?" Margaret replied softly, "Ms. Jent seems unbothered. She's painting now." "Thank you, Margaret," said Zach. He smirked as he hung up the phone, pleased that Madelyn knew how to fight back.
Back at the office, Cecilia confronted Zach, throwing documents on his table and ranted, "Why didn't you answer my calls?" Cecilia turned to Kevin and continued, "And why didn’t you send me his schedule? Can't you understand simple instructions?" Blake, waiting outside, shivered.

"Serve him right!" Blake muttered under her breath, relishing in Kevin's misfortune.

She protested, "You've been gone so long, and now you're trying to set me up on dates? I'm fine living with Aunt Grace." Blake resigned and agreed to one last blind date. She wished her parents would return from the research institute for her birthday, as she had felt neglected since childhood.
