After finishing their lecture, Rachel and Emily quickly took a taxi to John's office, where they were dropped off. Isabelle, who was with them, buzzed with excitement about meeting John.
Immediately Emily and Isabelle stepped into the office, they were immediately engulfed in the hectic atmosphere. Isabelle scanned the room for someone familiar and spotted Rachel and Rebecca rushing out. She quickly made her way toward them, wearing a big smile.
"Hey, guys! What's happening?" Isabelle inquired, anticipating a friendly reception.
Despite her cheerful demeanor and eager expectation, Rachel and Rebecca simply walked past her without acknowledging her, their faces set in serious expressions. Rachel's eyes burned with anger, and Rebecca's jaw was tightly clenched.
Isabelle's smile faltered and she felt a pang of confusion washing over her.
