"Martin? Who is Martin?" Richard let out a frustrated sigh.
"You. You are Martin. I saw your initials," Juliette accused, her voice filled with disbelief.
Richard's frustration turned into annoyance.
"Like I said, you're delusional," he retorted, his tone implying his patience was wearing thin.
"And don't make me send you out of this house. I'll be forced to if you continue to annoy me or piss me off."
Feeling defeated, Juliette let out a heavy sigh and reluctantly made her way towards the exit. Just as Richard was about to close the door, she hurried back, desperation evident in her eyes.
"I'm sorry..." she whispered, her voice filled with genuine remorse.
Richard sighed, his expression softening slightly. He nodded, trying to appear casual.
"I heard you. It's okay. Goodbye," he replied, reluctantly closing the door in her face.
Before she could utter a single syllable, Richard opened the door again, catching her off guard.
