It must be Tyrone who had left it there before heading into the meeting.
She averted her gaze, feigning ignorance.
Her curiosity sated by observing the fish, she then turned her attention to a magazine
nestled within the bookshelf, eager to lose herself in its pages.
Before too long, the office’s tranquility was disrupted by the sound of approaching
footsteps.
Tyrone made his entrance, clutching a document in his hand. Observing Sabrina engrossed
in reading, he remarked, “You’ve been waiting for quite some time. Are you finding it a tad
tedious?”

A sudden surge of bitterness and unease coursed through him, casting a shadow over his

have a moment now?” Sabrina asked casually.
“Just a minute.”
As soon as the call connected, Tyrone glanced at Sabrina and made a gesture. He then put
the phone to his ear.
“Hello? What’s the matter?”
Damon said something on the other end of the line, and Tyrone‘s face suddenly became
stern and angry.
“Are you sure? Okay, I see. I’LL be right there.”
