After her words, she left the office. The blood on the floor was still there, but a janitor had already come to clean it up.

Once Lemira was out of sight, Thaddeus couldn't help but criticize, "You could show a little empathy, man. This was the time to walk Lemira out, maybe comfort her a bit."

"She's no delicate flower needing constant care!"

Orion glanced at the blood on the floor, "Seems like the Langstons haven't learned their lesson yet."

"They do need a lesson, but remember, the Langston Group started as a branch founded by Lemmy's parents. Even the company's name and location were chosen by her parents. Wouldn't she be devastated if it went under?" After all, it was a part of her heritage.

Orion's expression was icy as he turned and left the office, heading towards the restroom as well.
