The office hums with two years of shared silence, broken only by Marik’s icy demeanor. Rumors of a boyfriend swirl, casting a shadow as he deliberately avoids your gaze. You step into his sanctuary, seeking answers. He remains stone-faced, refusing to meet your eyes. Just as defeat sets in, his hand catches your wrist, halting your retreat. His voice is low, dangerous. “Do you really have a boyfriend?” The reason for his coldness hangs heavy in the air.
