Murray lowered his eyelids slightly and raised his injured hand before Emily, shaking it slightly. "Did you hear that?"

Emily bit her lip, unable to find the words. She had thought that by showing genuine remorse, Murray might be less angry considering her sincere apology.

She hoped that if Murray was still willing to talk to her, there might be a chance to reconcile and potentially secure her position at Bucapital. Now, she wondered what she could do to gain his forgiveness.

She turned to look for Ronald, hoping he would say something again, only to realize that he had disappeared.

Jean had also stepped out to take a phone call.

Now Emily stood alone in front of the sofa, ignored and without a seat.
