Silence filled the room, leaving Mya dumbfounded.
“What?! You’re hijacking my project? Since when do you defy me?”
“It’s you who drove me to this,” Cleopatra declared coldly.
“I’m set to be Miss Moore’s right hand. I’ll only heed her commands. Nothing more!” Cleopatra’s gaze fixed on Mya.
“She’s our superior. You disrespected her just moments ago. I won’t hesitate to inform her!”

Duncan sighed, pondering for a moment. He pulled Mya close, planting a gentle ki*s on her cheek.

Mya sulked, questioning, “So, how much longer must I endure?”
Duncan reassured her.
