Lisa couldn't believe she just ruined the carefully laid-out plan she had spent hours devising in a matter of mere seconds. The frustration boiled within her, and she cursed silently under her breath, unwilling to voice her inner turmoil.

As she grappled with her own vexation, a voice pierced through her thoughts. "I know deep within you want to curse me. You're free to do so. Just remember not to cross me again," came the stern warning from her adversary. With a resolute expression, she turned on her heel and marched out of the living room, leaving a palpable tension in her wake.

Bryan, witnessing the exchange, let out a chuckle that betrayed his amusement. With a nonchalant shrug, he strolled back to his apartment, content with the chaos he had unknowingly stirred.

Elena absentmindedly scratched the back of his head, her gaze fixed on him."I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't blame yourself for anything. I know I can be a handful, but you don't need to be so hard on yourself. You look kind of ridiculous with that expression," she remarked, her voice taking on a slightly teasing, babyish tone.Bryan's brow furrowed in response. "Who ever said you were a burden to me? You're my sister, and it's my duty to look out for you," he insisted, a touch of protectiveness slipping into his words.

She called her personal assistant, Rachel, into her office, her mind racing with questions."Rachel, I need to ask you something," Lisa said, her voice low and serious. "Have you noticed anything unusual lately? Anyone suspicious lurking around or asking questions?"Rachel looked puzzled, "Unusual? Like what, ma'am?"Lisa leaned in, her eyes locked on Rachel's.

    Alora's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with skepticism. "So you're just saying that to tell me it's not good, it's not actually your first time, right?" she asked, her tone implying disbelief.Bryan's scoff was dismissive, his eyes rolling in exasperation. "I haven't smoked once. Even though I grew up around people who smoke, I never tried it. I don't hate smokers, but I correct them and advise them to quit if I can. There's no gain in smoking, it only causes harm to the body," he explained, his voice patient and matter-of-fact.Alora's expression turned thoughtful, her eyes softening slightly. "You're being such a calm man. England must have changed you," she said, her tone tinged with a hint of surprise.Bryan's scoff was wry, his eyes glinting with a hint of sadness.

He turned to see Alora, her slender fingers holding a cigarette, her eyes gazing out at the horizon. Bryan's eyes widened in disbelief - Alora, smoking?
