Without sparing the man another glance, Karina let out a breath of relief as the police quickly left, bringing an end to the chaotic ordeal. Just as she thought she could relax, Yvette appeared nearby, making exaggerated winks and smirks, her face practically screaming curiosity. "Do you have a twitch or something?" Karina asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yvette rolled her eyes. "Twitch? Who taught you how to talk? And no, that's not the point! Spill it-what's going on with you and the director?" Karina blinked, confused. "What do you mean by what's going on?"
