章節 151: Safer is not always safe.

"Has Daniel left?" Ryan asked anxiously as a staff member passed by. 

Terror flashed across the staff member's face, but keeping his eyes cast on the floor, he nodded. "Yes, he just left with his belongings." 

Ryan's jaw tightened at the response. He knew he had asked Daniel to leave, but he never thought Daniel would agree to it without a fight.

Without a word, Ryan stepped back into his office and closed the door with a loud thud. The sound made everyone outside flinch but no one dared to utter a word. 

Inside the office, Ryan continued to pace. His mind at the moment was a complete whirlwind of emotions —rage, guilt, and a twinge of something that he refused to name. He stopped abruptly, staring at the screen, displaying the endless discussions online that were continuously disapproving of the possibility of his engagement with Arwen.
