He kept clenching and unclenching his jaw.His back curved forward, more and the defeat he felt in that moment was emphasized. It was almost as if he had lost all confidence, and he had a desire to make himself appear smaller."What would you like to know?"

Vanessa asked.Armand's brows furrowed with a contemplative expression. The weight of Vanessa's question pressed upon his mind, and he found himself lost in a sea of thoughts, searching for the perfect answer.He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the sturdy desk before him, his hands forming a steeple as he supported his chin.
