"Okay, now that you're ready, let's move on."
"I'll tell you the plan on the way. Anyway, there's still some time before the meeting."
Adrian nodded simply and didn't say much, but Rex could see the anger hidden deep in his eyes.
Together, they slowly walked the sun-drenched pathways toward the administrative building, the tension between them was palpable but unspoken.
The campus was nearly deserted. It was the weekend, after all.
Most students were either back home or holed up in their dorms, enjoying the brief calm before the upcoming exams.
The usual chatter and foot traffic had faded into silence.
Only the occasional chirping of birds and the soft rustle of wind in the trees broke the quiet.
But an eerie silence still hung in the air, like the calm before a storm.
It was the perfect time.
Rex walked ahead, his eyes scanning the path as if calculating each step.
Adrian followed closely and kept quiet, but his clenched fists and the fury in his eyes told another story.
