Ryan stared at Zenith for a long moment before finally asking, "You are going somewhere later?" His tone was quite calm and composed, even though Zenith didn't want to answer him about her personal appointments, she couldn't refuse him straightforwardly.
Letting her fingers clench around the edge of her desk, she responded by nodding. "Yes, I have some plans later. But I will leave only after finishing my work here. I will not cause any inconvenience."
Her words like that made Ryan frown, but that frown only lingered for a second before disappearing. "There is no urgent schedule today, you can leave early."
Zenith paused at his words for a second. Her brows tugged in a small confusion. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it, not sure what she should say. "Uh —I don't think so, that would be a good idea, sir. My appointments are mine to handle. I won't let my work hours suffer because of it. I will leave after office hours."
