The Substitute Bride

It didn't matter anymore. Whatever Lance was thinking, whether or not he meant what he said, as long as he could satisfy their needs while he acted in his own self-interest, everything would be fine.

Just because Rachel didn't value the matter, it didn't mean that Holley didn't either. Especially at this crucial moment, Holley was obviously anxious—it was clear that not even a single mistake could be made if Tarsan Corporation really intended to get out of trouble.
