"Ah, if Ronan offered to help, surely you would, right?"
Billy's targeted joke succeeded in making Sarah and Elena shut their mouths tightly. It felt like their disgrace was being skinned. Even though the one Billy was teasing about was only Elena, right?
"Billy, I'm sorry, but we really have to excuse myself. Poor Elena if she keeps being kept here."
Sarah's words are also true. Billy didn't even try to hold them back any longer. He let Sarah and Elena achieve their goal.
People who just realized Elena was not okay, finally flocked to offer help to the girl. They even took over Sarah's job of escorting Elena to the rest area.
"You'd better just stand by on location, Sarah," said one of the female crew to Sarah. "Elena let us take care of it. You'd better use the time you have to eat a snack."
"Not bad. To add energy," said another crew.
