"She's here."
Zayn announces as he glances at his phone, the tension in the room reigniting in an instant.
Candy sets her wine glass down and straightens in her chair.
"Well, let's not keep her waiting."
I rise from my seat. My heart is pounding in a mix of anticipation and unease. The girl Zayn reached out to is here, someone who could possibly unravel the mess surrounding Chris and Price. But who is she? And why do I feel like this is just the beginning of something bigger?
Zayn moves toward the door, and Candy and I exchange a look before following him. At this point, we're a team united by chaos and determination.
When he opens the door, a tall, confident woman steps in. She's dressed sharply, exuding an air of expertise and control. Her eyes scan the room, calculating, before settling on Zayn.
"Long time, no see."
She says with a small smirk, extending her hand.
Zayn shakes it.
