“What’s she up to?” Nicole frowned. ‘Is Cherry using Stanley as a shield?’ “It’s just a deal between us. She’s getting her visa. But there are some problems causing the delay,” Stanley admitted, relieved after sharing his dirt with Nicole.

Nodding, Nicole instantly understood Cherry’s plan, as well as Stanley’s. “You’re using her to stop the inflow of dates Mom’s setting up for you?”

“You can say that, but you’re not entirely correct,” Stanley replied.

“What do you mean by not entirely?” Nicole asked, becoming even more confused.

It was obvious that Cherry was using Stanley as a smokescreen to lull her family into a false sense of security until her visa was approved. After that, she would leave the country with her real boyfriend.
