Albert retrieved a white cigarette, placing it between his lips. Just before igniting it, he gazed up at the nearby policeman, inquiring deliberately, Would you object to my indulging in a smoke? Alberts identity was known to all within the police station.
The superior advised the policeman against troubling Albert, aware of the legal team supporting him.
The policeman acquiesced with a nod.
Albert proceeded to light his cigarette calmly, taking a deep drag before casting a glance at Axell. Dr. Calderon, you must be feeling quite remorseful. Considering the repercussions, no doubt.

Suddenly, a slender figure loomed in the doorway.
It was Alexis.
Clutching a briefcase, she leaned casually against the doorframe, observing the scene with mild amusement. Then, with a nonchalant tone, she cautioned, Mr. Calderon, refrain from self-incrimination
henceforth. Your words have been duly noted by my client, Mr.

Alexis nodded.
As Axell left, he felt a twinge of resentment and embarrassment.
Casting a cold gaze at Jessie, Axell questioned, Are you content now? You claimed nothing was amiss between you and him. Do you even believe your own words?
Jessie had no desire to justify herself to Axell.
Once Axell left, Jessie too sought to depart, only to be halted by.
Albert.
