Lyla walked into the company, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. The moment she stepped inside, she could feel the weight of countless stares. Whispered conversations hushed as she passed, but she ignored them all, keeping her chin high and her steps steady. She wasn't here to give them the satisfaction of seeing her falter.

Rose hesitated, biting her lip. "Well… it's just…"
Lyla narrowed her eyes. "It's just what, Rose?"

"Oh my God…" she muttered under her breath before shooting Rose a sharp side glance.
