Xavier unconsciously put out his cigarette. He had expected Yvette to come out and cry, shout, or even slap him, as she had before. But she did none of that; instead, she was unusually calm. "I'm going out for a walk." Her voice was hoarse.

Without waiting for Xavier's approval, she left the office. As she left the company, she felt several strange gazes upon her, though the office was nearly empty.

The sky was overcast, and light rain had begun to fall when Yvette went out.

"Yes, sir."

As the car soon stopped, Claude stepped out of the vehicle with a coat and an umbrella. With one hand holding the umbrella, he quickly walked up to Yvette, shielding her from the rain.
