Cris entered the office and saw Brix and his mother talking. She was about to turn around to go out but she heard her name being mentioned which made her stand still in her place like a statue.
Hearing those words from Brix's mother made her heart skip a beat. Her hand clenched into a tight fist as she gritted her teeth. She knew she should leave or else the pain she was feeling would kill her instantly but suddenly Brix's gaze shifted and stopped in her direction.
Brix was caught off guard seeing Cris standing not far from them and based on her expression and how she dropped the files she was holding, he could tell that she had heard everything.
"Cris..." he whispered weakly. Cris turned around and immediately walked away. Brix was about to follow her but her mother grabbed his arm.
"Let me go, mom. Cris might misunderstand us!" he barked.
