His eyes lingered on her from head to toe, searching for something, perhaps lost memories or remnants of the past. The way her hair fell in waves around her face, the traces of weariness etched into her features, and the subtle tension in her posture told a story he was familiar with but had long tried to forget."Why did you think I did those things so you could come to apologize?"

I can assure you I am telling the truth; he's using your sister," she emphasized, her conviction unwavering."You really need to leave my office right now, I don't want to hear it," he demanded firmly, hoping to convey his urgency. However, the woman standing before him remained unmoved by his request."I'm not going anywhere until I finish what I came here to do.
