At that moment Alex's heart raced uncontrollably, her chest tightening with every second of silence.
She searched Ethan's face for any sign of what he might do next, but his expression was calm—too calm. Finally, his voice broke the tension.
"Relax," Ethan said evenly, his tone neither harsh nor warm.
"I'm not going to do anything to you. You're free to go."
Upon hearing what Ethan just said.
Her legs felt weak as she stood, her body moving on autopilot.
However She hesitated for a moment, her eyes lingering on Ethan, but his calm demeanor didn't waver. She nodded, whispered a faint "thank you," and hurried out of the office, leaving Ethan alone.
What she just saw, was still fresh in her my mind and she couldn't believe after everything she was still trying to push ahead and get something, when she doesn't even understand Ethan anymore.
However She was scared because she doesn't know what she's going to do from here.
