Lena sat there, unsure of what to do.
Lina could sense her unease and intentionally asked, "Why do you look like that?" She chuckled.
Lena looked up after a moment of hesitation and said, "Lina, did you..."
She wanted to ask, "Did you not receive that email? Don't you feel uncomfortable after seeing those pictures?"
Ultimately, she asked, "Don't you have any questions for me?"
Lina gently placed the bowl she was holding down and took Lena's hands.
"Zuko is investigating. We'll soon find out who sent the email," Lina assured her.
"Lina, those pictures... They're real." Lena bit her lip. "I saw Renee fighting with Toph at the cafe the other day. I

"You don't have to explain." Lina smiled warmly. "I believe you."
Lena teared up. Hearing those words meant the world to her.
She looked at Lina with emotions welling up, uncertain how to express herself.

wouldn't be in their current situation.
"What's wrong, Lena?" Lina asked.
"Oh, nothing," Lena forced a smile and cleared the empty bowl. "Sis, I'll bring you some chicken soup tomorrow if
you'd like!"
Lina remained silent, gazing at Lena.
Lena was taken aback. 'I called her 'sis'?'
"What did you just call me?" Lina asked.
"I..."
"This is great!" Lina's face lit up. "Call me sis from now on. It's much better than calling me Lina!"

Before the conversation could continue, the assistant knocked and entered, placing quarterly reports and important
documents on Lina's desk.
Lina inquired, "How's the progress on the email incident?"
"IT will resolve it soon."
"Good." She nodded. "Spread the word: No more rumors in the company. Anyone spreading rumors will need to
resign through HR."
Zuko sought out Chris at the pizza place.
Chris was dining alone in the small, nearly empty restaurant. The sounds of him devouring pizza filled the space.
Zuko smiled and entered.
That was the good thing about him. Unlike other men, he would not get drunk at a bar whenever something
bothered him. He would either go for a 5k run or eat pizza.
He would either exhaust himself or suffer from overeating.
He already had two large pizzas at the moment.
