"Then why so quiet?"

"There's nothing to discuss."

The void between them held no conversation.

They had always been quiet, but never Like this.

Clearly, Tyrone could sense her unhappiness.

Karen had mentioned Sabrina returning from work in a sour mood the previous day.

"Are you unhappy with Evelyn's punishment? She confessed her mistake to me, blaming her poor mentoring of her intern. She has been punished half of her annual bonus. That's a lot."

Recalling Evelyn's message, Tyrone deduced that Evelyn might be the cause of Sabrina's gloom.

Sabrina scoffed, questioning, "Do you genuinely believe Evelyn's intern is responsible?"

His naivety was astounding.

Tyrone was puzzled. “Are you implying her intern took the fall for Evelyn? But why would she do that? She forfeited half her bonus. What's the gain for her in that?"

Sabrina lifted her gaze to meet his, stating, "What if I told you that Evelyn harbors feelings for you and detests me?"

Tyrone glanced at Sabrina, his face lighting up with a grin, "Sabrina, your humor isn't appreciated. Regardless of your issues with Evelyn at the office, your jest wasn't appropriate."

He couldn't help but recall Evelyn's earlier words.

Even without Evelyn's heads-up, he wouldn't have believed Sabrina's words.

Evelyn had been a loyal employee at Blakely Group for quite some time, he was well-acquainted with her demeanor and competency. Add to that, Evelyn had a long-term boyfriend. How could she possibly have feelings for him?

Sabrina sunk into quiet contemplation.

How absurd! Tyrone had dismissed her words outright. Then why was he pretending to care?

She had momentarily overlooked Tyrone's prowess in pretense. How could she have mistaken his feigned concern as genuine?

As the clock was nearing her lunch break, a message from Tyrone popped up on her screen.
