Emerging from the bathroom of Damien Sterling's office, Emma Hart stumbled upon Nina Waters, who had just returned from outside. With a puzzled look, Nina seemed bewildered as to how Emma could have possibly used that particular restroom.
Caught in an awkward gaze with Nina Waters, Emma glanced over at Damien Sterling, realizing he had no intention of offering an explanation on her behalf.
Emma paused momentarily before speaking up, "Mr. Sterling, I'll have the janitorial staff dispose of the trash from the restroom immediately."
Damien Sterling cast a brief glance at Emma, his silence speaking volumes. It was clear he found her less foolish than before.
Noticing it was time for his meeting, Damien observed the two women in front of him. Nina Waters looked expectantly at him, while Emma Hart, seeming utterly indifferent to his presence, stood aside, lost in her own thoughts, as if she wished to ignore him entirely.
