He didn’t know how to make it yet, but he could learn:

With these words, he stepped into the elevator without waiting for a reply.

“I’m heading out too,” Gabriela said, as if just remembering something,

She gave Jessica a nod and followed Brian inside.

The elevator doors slid shut, cutting off Jessica’s line of sight.

Brian turned to the woman now standing beside him. “Ms. Clark, is there something else?”

“You already know, don’t you?” Gabriela crossed her arms, her expression cold and sharp as a blade.

Brian hesitated, then spoke quietly. “I’m sorry. I can’t do what you want.”

Gabriela had never been supportive of his relationship with Jessica. The only reason she’d come after him now could only be to drive that point home. But that was the one thing he could never agree to.

Gabriela’s expression darkened visibly.

“Brian, how long are you planning to keep dragging Jessi down with you?”

She was seething with frustration. How could he not see how off Jéssica had been lately?

Gabriela let out a humorless laugh. “You think I’d believe that? If you actually gave a damn about her, you’d stay as far away as possible.”

This man was impossible, completely unreachable.

Just as she looked about ready to explode, the elevator dinged and the doors opened. Brian stepped back, allowing her to exit first.

She didn’t bother being polite, but as she stepped out, she still threw a final warning over her shoulder.

She turned around, already impatient. “What now?”

Bilan didn’t take offense. Instead, he looked at her with quist sincerity.

“Jessi’s not doing well lately. I’m asking you, please, if you can, spend more time with her.”

Gabriela snorted. “I don’t need you to tell me that. I was already planning to.”

As if he were the only one who cared.

Brian didn’t mind her hostility. She had agreed, and that was all that mattered. “Thank you,” he said softly.

Gabriela didn’t bother responding. She turned and walked away without
