A charity gala was way more exclusive than Lara initially thought. It was not just about the charity, apparently, because the best drinks were served together with expensive food.

How much was spent on the refreshment and how much would end up in actual charity missions was a mystery she didn't want to solve. She suspected she wouldn't like the response.

«Oh, sure! I will defend you!» he said, forgetting about anything he was trying to say.

«Sure,» Lara chuckled. «I will remember to do so.»
