She picked up a piece of grilled salmon and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out adorably as she chewed. Adorable, indeed.
Gilbert watched her for a moment, charmed, before he cautiously asked, "Have you seen Edgar around?" Sherilyn paused, a look of confusion crossing her face, "No, is he here too?" "Yeah." Gilbert even pointed in a direction for her, "Over there, see him?" "Oh." Sherilyn nodded, her expression unchanged.
Gilbert pulled a grimace, "And the girl with him, you see her?" Sherilyn gave him a sideways glance, "Yeah, I see her. What about her?" Was it possible that he recognized Yuna as the girl involved in her kidnapping that day? Clearly, he hadn't.

Sherilyn snapped back to reality, looking at him and replying, "I just think that girl looks somewhat familiar." "Familiar?" Gilbert frowned, glancing towards Yuna, "These days, once girls put on makeup, they all look much the sto me."

Something didn't sit right with her. From what Gilbert implied, were Edgar and Yuna dating? It wasn't jealousy she felt.
Rather, she thought Edgar deserved better.
Setting aside Yuna's parents, the fact Hd resorts that Yuna could resort to kidnapping and threats for her own gains... What kind of person did that make her?
Did Edgar really know her? And if he did, did he like her knowing all this, or was he completely in the dark? should she intervene? Sherilyn felt torn and undecided. Early the next morning, Sherilyn arrived at the dance troupe's studio.
