Emily Parker watched Maria Carter's departing figure, gathered her thoughts, then turned her gaze to Carlos beside her. In a soft, sincere voice tinged with gratitude, she said softly, "Carlos, thank you for earlier."

Carlos responded almost instinctively, and the moment the words left his mouth, he was startled himself.

Upon hearing this, Emily Parker's heart skipped a beat, and a faint, barely noticeable blush crept onto her face.
