As the lunch meeting draws to a close, Christian senses a responsibility weighing on his shoulders, urging him to address the unspoken tension lingering between them. With a subtle shift in his demeanor, he clears his throat, catching the attention of Ana and Rafael as they prepare to leave the restaurant.
"Before we part ways, there's something I'd like to discuss," Christian begins, his voice measured but firm. Ana and Rafael exchange curious glances, their expressions guarded but attentive.
Christian takes a moment to gather his thoughts before continuing. "I understand that there may be some...complicated dynamics at play here," he says carefully, his gaze shifting between Ana and Rafael. "Marilena, my girlfriend, is Rafael's ex-fiancée."
