Turning around in disbelief, Iris saw Jim standing behind her, a faint smile playing on his lips. His blond hair was striking, and his blue eyes sparkled with a familiar light.
A look of surprise washed over Iris' face, her voice filled with incredulity, "Jim?! How… What are you doing here?"
Jim didn't directly answer Iris' question. Instead of looking at her, his gaze shifted to Daniel standing beside Iris, sizing up the new face with a mix of curiosity and an indiscernible wariness. "And who might this be?" Jim asked, his tone laced with curiosity and a hint of caution.
Daniel was also evaluating Jim, their eyes meeting in mutual curiosity. Daniel turned to Iris, nudging her arm with a smile, "Iris, this guy doesn't seem to be here for work, right?"
Jim's eyebrows furrowed slightly at Daniel's affectionate gesture towards Iris, a trace of annoyance flickering across his face. 'What's their relationship?' he wondered, growing more curious.
