Thea thought his enthusiasm had faded, but then she received some shocking news.

No one knew what Madelyn had gone through that day. All they knew was that upon returning, she immediately asked HR for a leave of absence to rest for a while.

Jake punched the wall. I want to see who has the guts to threate me like this!"
A flicker of determination crossed Madelyn's tear-filled eyes as if sudden thought struck her. "Oh, I remember the layout of the room! It wasn't big. There was a dusty violin in the corner, and the curtains were sky blue. That's all I can recall." Jake's excitement surged as he tightly grasped Madelyn's shoulders. "Are you sure about that? Did you not mistake it?"
