Bruised and abused... Life had never been kind to him. Evan, an orphan, was adopted only to serve as a means to accomplish his blood-sucking parents' goals.

Mac, who had been trailing just behind Evan and Suri, stood frozen in his spot. His eyes were wide, his jaw slightly slack as the tension in the air thickened around them, becoming almost palpable. 

The looming possibility of violence and a potential fight with Mrs Suri weighed heavily on his mind. 

His thoughts raced as he wondered—if a fight broke out and Suri got hurt, what would the boss do? He'd surely retaliate, but would that be enough to quell the situation?

The atmosphere was so thick with suspense that even their breathing seemed laborious. Suri, who had been glaring at Evan with icy detachment, suddenly burst into unexpected laughter.

The sound was sharp and incongruous, cutting through the backdrop of their serious confrontation. 

PFT!
