Christian was now back with Eva and the others. His face wore an unreadable expression as he continued spending time with them.
Eva, naturally, seemed bothered by his condition. She looked like she wanted to ask something, but in the end, Christian simply shook his head. And just like that, time passed.
Night had already fallen. And maybe it was because of the indescribable atmosphere he brought back with him after stepping away earlier, but in the end, they decided to wrap things up for the day.
And so, they were now in the presidential suite they had reserved, each in their own room… though naturally, Christian was staying with Eva.
In the wide and quiet room, seated near the tall windows and watching the soft glow of the city lights outside, Eva finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She turned to him and asked, her voice gentle but probing, "So… what really happened out there? You've been like this ever since you came back."
