In the midst of a tense situation, the room, which felt heavy with anticipation, was now filled with an unexpected lightness.
As everyone seemed to have noticed her little jealousy split, Alex's smiled cutely "well, it's my first time hearing Eliott's name associate with a woman, I'm just curious ..."
Hearing this, a hesitant smile played on the lips of Olivia, who seemed to like Alex's more and more. The man responsible for the internet analysis, who had been silent until now, was the next who chuckled softly, their shoulders relaxing just a fraction.
Emboldened by the spontaneous diversion, Christopher cracked a light-hearted joke, and a ripple of laughter spread through the room, momentarily dispelling the heavy atmosphere. The tension that had been building began to dissipate, if only for a moment, as they all found solace in the unexpected split of jealousy that had emerged from Alex.
Once the laughter died, they all came back to the serious affair they had in hand.
