Kane is Now Engaged

But now, to her surprise and perhaps Bruno's dismay, Kane was engaged. The news had come as a shock to both her and her colleagues, marking a significant milestone in her life that she had never expected to reach.

As she reflected on Bruno's reaction, Kane couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. She knew that she had unintentionally hurt him by accepting someone else's proposal. But amidst the whirlwind of emotions, Kane also felt a sense of gratitude and joy. She had found love in unexpected places, and her engagement marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one filled with promise and possibility.

Yet, even as she celebrated her own happiness, Kane couldn't shake the feeling that she owed Bruno an explanation, a chance to understand why she had chosen someone else over him. And so, as she went about her day, Kane resolved to have a conversation with Bruno, to offer him the closure and understanding he deserved.

As Kane went about her duties at the 4th Department, she couldn't help but notice Bruno's demeanor towards her. There was a subtle tension in the air, an unspoken unease that hung between them like a heavy cloud.

Determined to address the elephant in the room, Kane approached Bruno, her footsteps echoing softly in the quiet hallway. "Hey, what's up?" she asked, her voice gentle yet tinged with concern. Bruno glanced up, his expression guarded yet tinged with a hint of vulnerability. "Hmm, just good, especially since you're here," he replied, his words laced with a mixture of sincerity and longing.

Kane felt a pang of guilt wash over her as she gazed into Bruno's eyes. She knew that her engagement had likely come as a blow to him, shattering the hopes he had harbored for so long. "I know things might feel a little awkward right now," Kane began, her voice soft yet resolute. "But I want you to know that I value our friendship, Bruno. And I hope that we can move past this and continue to support each other, no matter what."

Bruno nodded, his expression softening with understanding. "Yeah, of course," he replied, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Friends, as always and just a workmate." With that, a sense of relief washed over Kane as she and Bruno shared a brief moment of solidarity.

Though things may have changed between them, their friendship remained steadfast, a beacon of light in the midst of uncertainty. And as they returned to their duties, Kane knew that no matter what the future held, she could count on Bruno to be there for her, just as she would always be there for him.

Feeling a sense of resolution after her conversation with Bruno, Kane knew that it was time to address the elephant in the room once and for all. Gathering her colleagues together, she spoke with a firm yet gentle tone, her words carrying the weight of her sincerity.

"Hey everyone," she began, her voice steady and composed. "I just wanted to address something that's been on my mind lately. I know my engagement has been a topic of conversation, and I understand that it may have caused some discomfort, especially for Bruno."

Her colleagues nodded in understanding, their expressions reflecting a mixture of empathy and regret. "I want to make it clear that I value each and every one of you, and I appreciate the support and camaraderie that we share as a team," Kane continued. "But I also understand that my engagement may have inadvertently caused some tension, and for that, I'm truly sorry."

With a deep breath, Kane pressed on, her determination unwavering. "So, moving forward, I would appreciate it if we could refrain from teasing or discussing my engagement. I know it's a sensitive topic for some, and I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or left out."

Her colleagues listened attentively, their expressions softening with understanding and respect. "Of course, Kane," one of them spoke up, his voice filled with sincerity. "We understand, and we'll make sure to respect your wishes."

With a collective nod of agreement, the tension in the room dissipated, replaced by a sense of unity and understanding. And as they returned to their duties, Kane felt a profound sense of relief wash over her. She knew that by addressing the issue head-on, she had taken an important step towards fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for her team, one where everyone felt valued and respected.

With a newfound sense of resolution and camaraderie permeating the air, Kane felt emboldened to extend an invitation to her colleagues, a gesture of inclusivity and friendship that spoke volumes about her character.

"And by the way," Kane began, her voice carrying a note of warmth and sincerity, "I would like to invite you all to be my groomsmen for the upcoming day." Her colleagues exchanged surprised glances, their expressions reflecting a mixture of delight and gratitude. To be included in such an intimate and meaningful moment was an honor they hadn't expected, yet one they cherished deeply.

"Since the start of this journey, even though you didn't know about Waden," Kane continued, her voice tinged with affection, "he insisted that you all would be our groomsmen for that matter." With those heartfelt words, Kane left her colleagues to ponder the significance of her invitation, their hearts filled with a sense of belonging and camaraderie that transcended the boundaries of their professional relationship.

As they watched Kane depart, her words lingering in the tone of their thoughts. They are all honored by the way but to their mind, how could she can invite Bruno and will Bruno will ever attend that ceremony? That must be so hurtful to him. They keep discussing the matter until Bruno arrives. "Hey what's the talking all about? You must forget that you are all boys yet you chatter like girls in the corner. Be mindful of all your business please we got a lot of things to do instead of gossiping boys with a girls mouth" Then he left. 

But Bruno said that he will always be there for Kane, is he gonna attend the ceremony?
