David sat at his laptop, diligently working on his reports, trying to divert his thoughts from thinking about Rowan.

"What happened? How did you get hurt?" he asked, his voice tinged with a touch of worry.Flora, with false tears streaming down her face, pointed towards Rowan. "It was her! She used a glass to cut me, blaming me for the loss of her pregnancy," she accused, her voice filled with feigned hurt and resentment.Rowan's eyes widened in disbelief, her trembling voice betraying her genuine confusion. "No, David, I would never... I didn't do anything," she pleaded, her voice laced with desperation.David's expression remained guarded, his suspicion evident as he turned his gaze toward Rowan. "Is this true? Did you harm Flora?" he asked, his voice stern and cold.Rowan, her heart sinking, shook her head vigorou

"Where is he?" she asked abruptly, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration, disregarding any customary greetings. Ignoring the pleasantries, Richard understood the urgency in her question and retrieved a document from his portfolio.

Jonathan's grip on Rowan's wrist tightened, restricting her movements, but upon seeing someone approaching whom he seemed to know, he finally released his hand from pinning her to the wall. He took a step back, though his grip on her wrist remained firm.Flora, who had been holding David's arm intimately, looked at the scene with surprise.
