Serena and Charlton were surprised to see Geoffrey entering the room. Serena immediately turned to hide her tears while Charlton pretended to concentrate on the piano keys. Thankfully, the private music room was sound proofed.
"Sorry for the tardiness, thankfully the meeting went faster than expected." he said as he moved to place his things on the sofa.
Serena quickly dried her tears with her hands and took deep breaths to calm down. Her heart was beating a mile a second thinking how ugly things could have turned if Geoffrey came in any sooner.
Charlton closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He wouldn't know how to explain it to his cousin if he saw him embracing Serena.
Geoffrey walked over and could not help but look at the two in confusion. The atmosphere felt awkward, but he could not understand why.
"You two alright?" he asked.
"yes"
"yes"
They said at the same time, making Geoffrey chuckle.
