"Here," Officer Jena said with a smile as she handed the pen drive to Arwen.
Arwen accepted it and returned the smile. "Thank you." She placed it in her bag before checking the time on her watch. "If there is nothing else, I will make a move."
The female officer nodded in acknowledgement.
At her cue, Arwen motioned for Mia to follow her.
As they reached the exit door of the bureau, their steps came to a halt as a tall figure appeared, blocking their way.
It was none other than Ryan Foster.
Arwen gave him a fleeting glance but there was no trace of emotion on her face.
It was as if she was staring at just some stranger —someone who had simply wandered into her path.
Mia, on the other hand, looked visibly displeased. She might not have known the full history between Arwen and Ryan, but she had seen the footage of him abandoning Arwen in a dire situation.
And that alone was enough for her to decide —this man deserved neither their politeness nor their respect.
