As they gazed into each other's eyes, Cindy blushed, and her heart was beating fast. She quickly loosened her hands and put some distance between them.
"I-I'm going to check on M-Mr. Valentine..." She was stuttering because of nervousness. As soon as she said then, she fled the suffocating room.

"Are you okay?" Will asked nervously.
Cindy was confused when she heard his words. She had fled the room because she was embarrassed and long-forgotten her purpose of entering the study. Therefore, she was unsure if Nicholas was still mad.
