As Jasmine entered the room, Desmond’s face brightened with a modest smile. “Ah, Miss Moore, we meet again.”

Graciously, she replied, “Thank you for making time to see me despite your busy schedule.”

Jasmine gestured towards the comfortable sofa area and positioned herself across from him.

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, “I’m intrigued, Mr. Evans. What brings you here today?”

With sincerity in his voice, Desmond confessed, “I must admit, I acted hastily and disregarded the rules of the Rejuvenation Pill Auction. Since that incident, I have carried a heavy burden of remorse. Summoning my courage, I have come here today to offer my humble apologies to both you and the esteemed proprietor of the Rejuvenation Pill you represent. Please accept my sincerest apologies and forgive any trouble I may have caused.”

Jasmine maintained her unwavering smile as she responded, “Mr. Evans, there is no need for you to go out of your way to apologize. The auction itself has already passed judgment on your actions. You have paid the price for your past behavior, so there is no need to burden yourself with further apologies.”
