" Yes , Grandma . Thanks for the ride . I'll get going now . " Nancy bade farewell to Martha politely . Watching her walk away , Martha murmured , " It seems Nancy can get by just fine on her own without having to return to the Lidell family . " The driver said , " Mrs. Lidell Senior , I , too , think Ms. Nancy is better than Ms. Raine . She's real and never gives off a false air . " " You can see it , but the blind - as - bats couple can't , " Martha replied , her voice dripping with disdain . Back at home , Nancy was surprised to receive a text message from Andrew . It read , " Nancy , are you back home ? If you want to move back to the Lidell residence , just say it . Your room's always ready for you . " That sounded a little fake . Nancy replied with a perfunctory " Yes " and proceeded to reply to her friends ' text messages in their group chat . Hillary Morgan : " Nance , how's life in Riversdale ? " Nancy : " I'm fine . What about you ? Is shooting going smoothly ? " Hillary : " It's going well ! I just miss you , that's all . Once I wrap up , I'll come you Yelena Hawthorne : " Count me in !

" " Yes , I live on the 16th floor , " Nancy replied . " Mine's the 15th floor , " Gideon told her . Nancy glanced at the elevator . Sure enough , they were on the 15th floor . They turned out to be neighbors , living just one floor apart . It would be awkward to remain silent in the elevator , so Nancy struck up a conversation . " Did you come here for a project too ? " " Yes , I should be here for quite a while . " Gideon slipped one hand into his pocket , exuding a natural air of nobility . The light caught his profile , making it even more striking . He continued , " Do you have a car ? Do you want a ride ? " Nancy was quite surprised . Gideon seemed far more easygoing than she had imagined .

" Nancy politely made up an excuse for him Upon arriving at the company , Nancy grabbed her bag and got out . She thanked him courteously , " Thank you Goodbye . " " Mm " Gideon's Egaze lingered on her tall , alluring figure as she walked away , the corners of his lips curling into a faint smile .
