The next day, Jonathan left early in the morning, seemingly still busy with yesterday's acquisition.
Estelle accompanied the Lamont family's driver to Henson's place for his tutoring session.
After the class, Henson suggested, "I'm meeting my friends to play basketball later. Want to come along?"
"What would I do there?" Estelle asked casually as she packed up her things.
"My friend's bringing his attractive sister to cheer him on. I can't let myself be embarrassed, can I?" Henson explained.
Estelle chuckled, "Well, I'm not actually your sister!"
"Just pretend to be for a little while. My actual sister has been really busy lately, probably because she's got a new boyfriend!"
"You guessed wrong. Your sister has actually taken up a part-time job to keep herself occupied."
Henson frowned, "So, are you coming or not?"
"Of course!" Estelle exclaimed with delight. "I can't let you lose face!"
Henson grinned, "I knew I could count on you!"
Estelle suggested, "I'll head home first. Just give me the address, and I'll take a taxi there."
"That's so much trouble, why don't you stay for lunch and we'll go together?"
"I have something to do at noon, don't worry, I won't be late!"
"Alright then, it's at the same stadium we played last time. Call me when you're there!"
"Deal!" Estelle slung her bag over her shoulder and said, "I'm off, see you this afternoon!"
Henson waved at her casually.
Albert was startled and asked, "What do you mean? Carmella plagiarized?"
"Yes, the evidence is conclusive!" Jason said coldly.
Albert's face turned red with embarrassment, he frowned and said, "Why would Carmella do something like that? She's actually quite talented, just a bit too eager for success, especially under Mrs. Macclain's influence, she's become increasingly impetuous."
"It's a matter of character!" Jason said bluntly.
Albert looked even more ashamed, "I guess I failed as a teacher. Please forget what I said earlier about helping her."
Jason gently said, "It's not your fault."
Meanwhile, Old Mr. Quintin seemed uninterested in the conversation, focusing solely on serving Estelle food, worried she might not be happy and wouldn't come back next time.
After dinner and sitting with Old Mr. Quintin for a while, Jason took Estelle to leave.
