The day seemed to pass by a lot slower, given Evan’s anxiety. The hours and minutes dragged on, and he found himself constantly looking at the clock.

Finally, it was the time of the meeting. Evan drove to The Passion at top speed. The lights inside glimmered seductively, adding to the lush atmosphere.

 
 

The interior was noisy and harsh-sounding, but Evan barely registered it. His handsome face remained impassive and calm, completely unresponsive to the din around him.
