The day had arrived, and the atmosphere in Henry's office was electric with tension. Alison and Henry had meticulously planned every detail of their strategy to confront Mark, knowing that the stakes had never been higher. As they gathered their final thoughts, Alison's heart raced—not just with the adrenaline of their impending confrontation but with the weight of her hidden agenda.
"Are you ready?" Henry asked, his voice steady but laced with determination. He looked directly into her eyes, searching for any sign of doubt.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Alison replied, forcing a confidence she didn't entirely feel. "We need to stay focused. Once we go in there, it's all or nothing."
Henry nodded, a flicker of concern crossing his face. "Remember, our goal is to expose Mark without putting ourselves in danger. We can't let our emotions cloud our judgment."
