"Rachael, are you angry at me? No, wait. Don't leave like this. I am sorry that I disappointed you with my decision. If you want me to back away, then I will…"
Elias stood up and tried to stop Rachael. But Rachael did not look angry with him. She only looked disappointed, and that somehow made Elias worse than before.
He knew that he had messed up, but he did not regret his decision.
"Elias, please step back. I will contact you once I calm down a little bit more. But until then, you might want to step back."
Elias breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he heard that. He knew that Rachael was angry at him, but she was not pissed. She would get over this and then contact him.
"I understand. I will back away for now, but promise you will keep me informed about this situation."
Elias asked, not expecting an answer from Rachael. Rachael waved him off, and that was the end of this conversation.
