Selah gave a small nod.
Putting the recent events out of her mind, Lindsey shared her plan to start a business.
Selah was taken aback by Lindsey's sudden ambition but found herself on board once Lindsey explained the corruption at Vitality Entertainment.
"Lindsey, I've actually dreamed of running my own business five years ago.
But back then, something stopped me... Now, five years on, the opportunity's cback around.
I've always said I'd follow you anywhere.
Countin on this business venture.
" "Thanks, Selah.

At eleven at night, Domenic sat in his car outside the bar, wondering about Lindsey's whereabouts and whether she'd left.
He thought to call her, but recalling how he'd upset her earlier, he stowed his phone back in his pocket.
With a soft sigh, he took hold of the wheel and drove off.
Arturo leaned against the entrance of the bar, silently lighting another cigarette.
This bar was the spot where he had hurt Selah.
He stood there quietly, feeling the evening breeze.
Then, Lindsey and Selah emerged from the bar, their laughter spilling into the night, with Nicolas trailing behind. Catching sight of Selah, Nicolas feigned indifference as he offered, "Miss Potter, Miss Stewart, it's getting late. May I offer you a ride home?" Despite their celebrity status, which usually meant heavy security, Nicolas and Selah appeared approachable. Arturo, however, recognized Sel ah immediately as she turned.
His gaze widened in shock.
Was she really here tonight? Watching Selah stand close to Nicolas, a sharp discomfort pricked Arturo's gaze.
Discarding his cigarette, he closed the distance in a few strides and grasped Selah's arm.
"Selah, where are you going? Letdrive you.
Selah's reaction to Arturo's sudden approach was a cold shrug as she freed herself and turned to Nicolas with a polite smile.
"I'd love to.
Thank you, Mr.
Aston.
Nicolas shot a quick look at Arturo and then invited Selah warmly, "This way, please.
" Selah didn't glance back at Arturo, instead walking away with Lindsey and Nicolas.

Frustrated, Arturo's hands formed tight fists, his eyes burning with fury. He pulled out his phone and dialed Mercer's number.
Mercer had left the bar earlier than Arturo and Domenic and e was now lounging in the car. Recognizing Arturo's number, he answered promptly.
"What's up, Arturo? What's the problem now?" "Get back here and tell your brother to back off from Selah.
If not, I'll find a way to get him banned.
Mercer was still reeling when the line went dead.
What just happened? How on earth did his brother get mixed up I get mixed up with Selah and tick off Arturo? A headache was starting to pound in Mercer's temples.
Why was he so unlucky tonight?
