The next morning, the group gathers around the piano to discuss the latest gossip. Ailin suggests that they should "create a statement" to "clean up the gossip" with Mr. Lorry. He tells the group that he has been good to the company for the last few days and that there will be no problem with the new manager. He says that the company still likes him and that he will be able to do his job without worry about money. The group is shocked to hear this, and Ailin tells them to leave. She tells them that she has arranged for them all to be present at the concert stand. She says that she is not Lorry's girlfriend, but that she does not understand why they think she is worthy of being there
