"Are you excited to have a portrait of you and Ian done today?" Alana asked, excited for Scarlet.

"You need to not let Ian fool you as it is not my portrait being done today. Your smiling is starting to bother me. Whatever it is that you are planning to do, don't. As soon as the portrait is finished, he will be on his way back home or to his work," said Scarlet.
