As Audrey pushed open the door, her gaze immediately met Abner, seated on the other side of the room with a laptop in front of him.
Upon hearing the door, he quickly typed a few words before closing the notebook, finally looking up at Audrey.
Audrey's lips twitched slightly as she hesitantly called out, "Brother."
Abner's expression froze.
Audrey's demeanor resembled one of his company's apprehensive subordinates, trembling with fear and forcing a strained smile. It was a clear manifestation of her nervousness.
Was he really that scary?
He had explicitly told her that he wouldn't scold her and simply wanted to understand the situation.
Why was she still so terrified?
In response, Abner nodded at Audrey. "Please, have a seat."
Audrey carefully moved over and adjusted the chair opposite Abner before sitting down.
