Julian had already informed her beforehand that Samantha was curious about her family background. So, the latter was being nice to her to learn more about her.
"You can say that."
"Oh really? Tell me more about your family then. I'm curious."
A light grin stretched on Anastasia's lips. Thankfully, she already had her backup story prepared beforehand.
"My family died in a plane crash, and before you ask for their names, I'm not comfortable saying it. I'd rather keep it hidden."
Samantha wasn't convinced. But she didn't ask for any more information. All she did was give Anastasia a tight smile.
"We should head back since we'll be leaving soon," she said.
Samantha walked two steps behind Anastasia as she glared at the latter. Anastasia could feel the hostility oozing from Samantha but she didn't bother with her.
They reached the living room the others were and Anastasia found Izara standing beside her parents. Desmond was nowhere in sight.
