A palpable silence fell over the room, broken only by their synchronized breathing.

The temperature seemed to rise, their veins humming with adrenaline.

As the distance between them dwindled, Aziel gently laid Sarah back onto the sofa, and just as their mutual passion was about to set them ablaze, the door abruptly swung open.

“Sarah, are you okay?"

Ariana and Betsy, who had just barged into the room, froze at the door.

As they stepped in, they found Aziel restraining Sarah on the couch, her skirt hiked up to her thighs, unveiling a broad area of her fair skin.

In an instant, Aziel's face flushed, mirroring the color of a ripe cherry. He quickly retracted his hand, stuttering, “I-I'1l head upstairs to tidy the room.”

With that, he hurried off.

Even for Sarah, known for her unflappability in such situations, the moment was unavoidably uncomfortable.

She coughed to pretend nothing had happened, sat up, and adjusted her skirt.

“What brings you two here?"

Ariana regained her composure, coughed, and gestured towards the unlocked door, clarifying, "I knocked and called out but got no one responded. I was afraid that something might have happened to you, I used the passcode to come in. It wasn't my intention."

“Ah, it's okay," Sarah casually dismissed the intrusion, acting as though nothing untoward had occurred, and went on to fetch water for them.

Ariana then reminded her, “You have a shift this afternoon, did you forget? We should Leave now or you'll be late."

"Damn it! I totally spaced out! Just give me a moment!" The realization hit Sarah, and she slapped her forehead before rushing to get ready.

As Ariana surveyed the neatly organized room and recalled the scene she had stumbled upon, she deduced that the two must have patched things up.

This gave her a sense of relief, understanding that Aziel would be there to support Sarah emotionally.

Sarah got ready quickly, and Ariana didn't have to wait long.

Aziel wanted to accompany her, but since Ariana was already there, it was more practical for them to leave together. Therefore, Sarah turned down Aziel's offer.

Ariana lingered by the doorway, watching Aziel's long face as he bid goodbye to Sarah, and couldn't resist the urge to poke fun at her.
