Then she slowly walked out, but when she reached the corridor, she turned around and left after looking at the private room not far away She did not want to go back to the chaotic private room and just wanted to be alone. Even if she didn’t go back, her

colleagues won’t know. Since her promotion, colleagues in the department had distanced themselves from her, and she was more comfortable on her own.

Down the stairs, Lucia took a deep breath and walked around to a backyard. The backyard was large, with greenery on both

sides and a large pool in the middle. The courtyard was quiet, and Lucia walked to the pool in the evening breeze and slowly walked forward.
