Even though she had a desire to put Kayla in her place, Claudia didn't wish to outshine or embarrass others.

Since she hadn't won the championship, Claudia sidestepped the spotlight, pushing the actual winner forward. "I'm not the champion this year. You should be talking to her," she stated, redirecting the reporters' focus.

“CC, are you going to skip out on the Lunch party again today?"

Yet Claudia's focus was nowhere near the general planner. Instead, her gaze was fixed on the man standing behind him.
