Once the two left, a hush descended over the room.
Noah got up to chase after them but was stopped by Donovan's outstretched arm.
“Donovan, are you out of your mind? We have been searching for her for so long for your thesis. Now that we're finally able to meet her, how could you just let her leave because of yesterday's minor incident? You could've resolved the conflict you have with her.
