The Aftermath
Sylvia stood in front of Favian with her eyes downcast. Her fingers were still cold, and she didn't dare to even breathe, feeling his eyes on her. The only thing that kept her standing and breathing there was Corbin's presence a few steps away from her.
A deafening silence fell over the place after Corbin narrated the whole incident to Favian. His right-hand man Bryce stood tensed and baffled in a corner.
News of Gianna's death had taken a toll on Favian, and it was clear by his delay of reaction while his expressions kept changing with every passing moment.
Corbin was not only tense but also worried. He didn't get a good feeling about this whole thing. Favian's eyes refused to leave Sylvia. After what felt like ages, Favian finally moved.
He took slow steps in Sylvia's way, and it increased Corbin's heart rate. He was ready to kick into action if things went wrong, but when Favian finally stopped in front of Sylvia, he held his breath.
