Chun's facade cracked further, her guilt and fear overwhelming her. She tried to maintain her composure, but her voice wavered as she spoke. "Kendrick, I-I can explain...." she pleaded, her eyes wide with desperation, a glistening sheen of tears forming.
“Then explain!” Kendrick yelled, his face darkened with rage, the muscles in his jaw twitching.
Chun was caught off guard, her mind racing as she tried to form a coherent explanation. “I… I…”
“No words to explain?” Kendrick’s cold voice boomed through the entire room. His eyes blazed with fury, and if looks could kill, Chun would have been dead a thousand times. He stepped closer, his presence towering over her, his breath coming in sharp, angry bursts.
