The people in the room were visibly clearly caught off guard by George's unexpected interruption.
Paul was well aware of the history between Theo and George, as George himself used to be a football player as well. However, due to his sister's accident and the subsequent demands of her treatment, George had to prioritize her and couldn't dedicate time to training and matches. As a result, he voluntarily withdrew from the national team.
"Well, I'm gonna go check on the other teammates. If you decide to come, make sure to be on time!" Paul said, noticing the tension. He quickly found an excuse to leave, and Theo nodded, escorting Paul to the doorway. After shutting the door, Theo turned around, fixing a steely gaze upon George.
