Laura stood in front of the mirror in the restroom, touching up her makeup. As she smoothed lipstick over her lips, she couldn't help but smile. It was a rare feeling of happiness that she hadn't experienced in a long time, especially since losing her father. Was it because of Leon? But he was no longer anyone special to her. Could they at least be friends again? A pang of guilt gnawed at her heart as if she were ready to kneel down and admit her mistakes. Was it possible that he still harbored anger? What she had done was truly awful, wasn't it? So, it was understandable if he held a grudge. Could she do something to make amends?
Suddenly, her phone rang, and she answered to find Bob on the line.
"Yes, Bob?"
"Laura, you've met with Leon, haven't you? That idiot has caused me losses, and I want you to help me get back at him. I know he's a pathetic person and deserves to be treated that way."
Who else felt secondhand stress from that showdown? I mean, between Laura chasing, Freya playing the cool act, and Leon just trying to survive the emotional crossfire—my anxiety levels are through the roof.
But hey, you gotta love a little chaos, right?
Question for you: What would YOU do if you were stuck in Leon's shoes—hear Laura out, or drive off into the sunset?
