Everyone went mute.

Just as Dami returned from her lecture, she received a call from Matthew. She quickly answered, eager to hear any news.

"Hey, Washington," Matthew greeted, his voice smooth and teasing as always. "Guess what? I've got some good news for you."

Dami couldn't help but smile at his tone. "Oh really, Bruce? Are you finally admitting you can't resist my charm?"

Matthew chuckled. "I think we both know that's a given. But seriously, the chairman agreed to let Miss Arette go to Garette's school. So, you don't have to worry anymore."

Relief washed over Dami; now she could stop worrying about Garette. "Well, it's about time you did something useful, Bruce. I was starting to think you only kept me around to keep tabs on me and keep me in check."
