Sabrina, resolute in her decision, refused to answer the call once more. As a final measure, she powered down her phone.

Tyrone's car trailed them at a discreet distance. Upon hearing the mechanical hum, Tyrone‘s lips compressed into a tight line.

Previously, she had merely declined his offers of assistance, but today she not only rejected his call but switched off her phone entirely.

Why? Could it be because Sabrina had spotted him in the company of Galilea tonight?

Was she angry? Could it be that she harbored some semblance of affection for him? Tyrone grappled with incredulity.

Upon their arrival at the underground garage within the residential community, the security gate's barrier automatically ascended, having identified their vehicle's license plate. Bettie navigated the car through as the gate descended once more.

The community maintained stringent access control, permitting only the vehicles of residents to enter.

The vehicle came to a halt in an available parking space. Sabrina unfastened her seatbelt and gracefully disembarked, making her way to the elevator where she pressed the button marked "Up."

The elevator descended from the tenth floor, its descent accentuated by the echoing silence of the underground garage.

Suddenly, from a nearby corridor, the distinct sound of approaching footsteps broke the hush.

Bettie, engrossed in responding to her father's inquiries on her phone, remained oblivious to this development.

Sabrina pursed her lips, casting her gaze downward.

Inexplicably, an uncanny sensation washed over her, an unmistakable intuition that it was Tyrone approaching.

However, Tyrone should have had no access.

"Sabrina." A voice both familiar and unexpected emanated from behind. Sabrina found herself momentarily rendered mute.

She pivoted gracefully, her brow furrowing ever so slightly as her gaze locked onto Tyrone. Inquisitively, she posed the question, “Why are you here?"

Tyrone approached at a leisurely pace. A composed smile graced his features as he explained, “This community boasts splendid flats, so I decided to acquire one."

Coincidentally, it occupied the unit directly above Sabrina's residence.

Sabrina found herself at a loss for words.

Ding!
