When chairman Lee left Liz's room, Rhonda entered. She wanted to come right away, but chairman Lee told her to wait until they clarify the situation. He didn't call the police out of respect for Liz and Max, but if it turned out that Max was the one who hurt Liz, chairman Lee would not hold back. If he allowed Liz to return home with her bully, chairman Lee would not be able to face Isaac ever again.
Rhonda also wanted to know what happened to Liz and she listened intently while her chin trembled. Liz was moved to see Rhonda so shaken up, even though Liz didn't go into details.
"Congratulations on your engagement.", Rhonda said when Liz finished her story. "The proposal was very… public."
