Ethan was in his office, organizing a meeting with his inner circle. It had been a while since they were all together, and today was crucial for their plans. He reviewed the final details of his presentation and headed to the meeting room. Upon entering, he noticed the expectant looks of his allies.
To his surprise, there was Aria, whom he hadn't seen since the night they spent together. The tension between them was palpable, but Ethan decided to keep his composure.
"Aria, how have you been?" Ethan asked with a calm smile.
"Good, Ethan. And... about that night, it was just that, a night. It won't happen again," Aria said with an embarrassed smile, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Ethan, trying to lighten the moment, responded, "Don't worry, I understand it was just the festive mood. Though, honestly, I thought I did a pretty good job for it to be categorized as 'just one night.'"
