“It’s not about me. I’m concerned she’ll keep going after you,”
Hannah replied, shaking her head.
Frustration surged within Edwin, compelling him to pace around the room.
“Look, I’ve graduated now. I’ll steer clear of her if I see her. And sorry for dragging you into this mess yesterday.”

“What’s going on here?”
Seeing Hannah, Duncan spoke in a sarcastic tone.
