Yohan quickly put out his cigarette and stood up. "Nobody will come inside," he said firmly.
He grabbed the reports and made his way to Bruno's bedroom. Natalie watched with a tight heart as Yohan seemed to have found something important.
Yohan walked into the bedroom, his expression stern and his eyes piercing through Bruno. He threw the reports on the bed near Bruno's legs.
Bruno's face turned red, and he looked at Yohan, who gave him a cold stare. Bruno felt regretful, and he lowered his gaze.
"Will you speak now? Or do you want me to handle this in a more unplea

At seven-thirty in the evening, Ryan Jenkins sauntered into the cabin. He noticed the overflowing ashtrays on the table and Yohan was deeply engrossed in something on his laptop.

In the car, Sara was sitting in Kevin's arms, resting her head on his shoulder. They didn't talk on the way home.
