Zuri knew that she couldn’t directly ask Lucien if he knew Colin. Lucien wouldn’t admit. So she decided to beat around the bush, then took him by surprise.
“I have never been offended by you.”
“But after I invested in the show, I heard that you were not single. I think it’s not fair if we still have you on the show.” Lucien cup with this excuse beforehand.
“Well?” Zuri knew it was just an excuse. She kept on kicking the can down the road. “I wonder who told you that. After all, I don’t even know I am not single.”
Zuri was sarcastic.
“It’s their privacy. I don’t think it’s appropriate to reveal his or her name.” Lucien said.

As an experienced businessman, Lucien was good at telling lies. No one could spot a giveaway.
Zuri remained poised and kept asking, “Can you please tellwhy is your company n‘Camcien’?”
“Because it’s catchy.” Lucien said.

Lucien smiled and said, “It’s indeed coincidental. I think I should meet your friend someday.”
“You’d better not.”
“Why?” Lucien was curious.
