A dark, dangerous glint flickered across Harry's face as he braced himself against the wall and stood up. "This is my girlfriend's room. All of you get out!"

Milanda's voice was sharp with anger. "So you do remember Lydia's your girlfriend. Do you even know how to act like a man?"

Harry didn't bother arguing with Milanda this time. He turned straight to Amy, barely masking his irritation. "Get them out. I need to talk to you. Alone."

Milanda expected Amy to tear into him, but instead, Amy hesitated, then glanced apologetically at Sylvia. "Boss, why don't you and Milanda head out first? Once I'm better, I'll make it up to you both."

Milanda stared at Amy in disbelief, her anger barely contained. "Lydia, if he lays a hand on you, what are you waiting for? Just break up with him! We're all here-he wouldn't dare touch you if you said it now."

Amy only frowned. "Milanda, he's not usually like this. Let me talk to him properly, okay?"

Milanda looked at her as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing, about to protest again, but Sylvia gently stopped her.

Sylvia addressed Amy, her voice soft. "We'll head out, then. Focus on getting better—nothing's more important than your health. If you need anything, just call me, all right?"

"Thank you, boss." Amy's eyes shone with gratitude.

Sylvia nodded and took Milanda by the wrist, leading her out of the room.
