Monica's voice quivered with a mix of worry, frustration, and hurt as she confronted her fiance, Damien, the moment he stepped into the office.

Walking towards his cabin, he noticed his employees bowing down to him as he passed by, some offering their greetings, but their well-wishes felt distant to him.
"And you want me to believe that?" Monica's tone turned sharp, anger seeping into every word she uttered.
