had to be calmed down. Apparently, Mr. Lincoln was furious about something that happened yesterday. No one knows what, but it must be serious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart raced at the thought. \u201cWhat could have happened?\u201d she muttered under her breath, anxiety creeping in. She couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that whatever it was, it had something to do with her.<\/p>\n
Eva set the tray down on the coffee table, her expression sympathetic. \u201cI don\u2019t know, but I heard it was about you. Just be careful, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded, her mind swirling with possibilities. What if Curtis was angry with her? Had she done something wrong? She felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she recalled their last conversation.<\/p>\n
The minutes ticked by slowly, each second stretching into an eternity. She glanced at her phone, half-hoping for a message, but nothing came through. Just when she thought she might burst from the tension, the front door swung open.<\/p>\n
Curtis stepped inside, his presence commanding the room. He looked exhausted but determined, his jaw clenched as if he were holding back a storm. \u201cAdriana,\u201d he said, his voice low and serious.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey,\u201d she replied, trying to keep her tone light despite the weight of the moment. \u201cYou\u2019re back early.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d he said, closing the door behind him with a soft click. \u201cWe need to talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart sank. \u201cAbout what? Is it about yesterday?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis ran a hand through his hair, a gesture she recognized as his way of dealing with stress. \u201cIt\u2019s more complicated than that. I need you to trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTrust you?\u201d She felt a surge of frustration. \u201cYou just left without saying much. How am I supposed to trust that you\u2019re not hiding something from me?\u201d<\/p>\n
He stepped closer, his eyes locking onto hers. \u201cI\u2019m not hiding anything. I just\u2026 I didn\u2019t want to drag you into this mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat mess?\u201d she pressed, her curiosity piqued. \u201cYou can\u2019t just drop that and expect me to be okay with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. \u201cDanielle approached Yolanda. She wanted her to set up a meeting with you. I didn\u2019t want you to get involved in whatever scheme she\u2019s plotting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s mind raced. \u201cYolanda? Why would she do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause she thinks it\u2019s a way to get ahead,\u201d Curtis replied, frustration evident in his tone. \u201cAnd I can\u2019t let that happen. I care about you too much to let someone like her manipulate you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana felt a rush of warmth at his words, but doubt crept in. \u201cBut what if Yolanda was just trying to help? She\u2019s my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis shook his head, his expression earnest. \u201cNot everyone has your best interests at heart. You need to be cautious, especially with people like Danielle around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana crossed her arms, feeling torn. \u201cSo, what do you want me to do? Just cut off my friends because you think they might betray me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d he said, his voice softening. \u201cI want you to be careful. I want you to see the bigger picture. I don\u2019t want to lose you to someone else\u2019s games.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sincerity in his eyes made her heart flutter, but the tension still hung in the air. \u201cI just don\u2019t want to feel like I\u2019m being controlled, Curtis.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not trying to control you,\u201d he insisted, stepping closer until there was barely any space between them. \u201cI just want to protect you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana searched his gaze, hoping to find the reassurance she needed. \u201cAnd what if I want to make my own choices?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis sighed, frustration mingling with concern. \u201cThen let\u2019s make those choices together. But promise me, you\u2019ll be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise,\u201d she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.<\/p>\n
Just then, Yolanda\u2019s earlier warning echoed in her mind. \u201cBut what about Yolanda? She might be in over her head with Danielle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded, his expression grave. \u201cI\u2019ll handle it. Just focus on yourself for now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana took a deep breath, feeling a mix of gratitude and unease. \u201cOkay. I\u2019ll try.\u201d<\/p>\n
As they stood there, the weight of their conversation settled around them, thick with unspoken words and unresolved tension. Adriana couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that the storm was far from over, but for now, she had Curtis by her side, and that gave her a flicker of hope.<\/p>\n
