As Helena and I walked up to the office door at BioSource Extracts, we heard Cassandra yelling loudly, followed by the unmistakable crash of glass breaking.
I exchanged a glance with Helena, who raised an eyebrow but stayed silent. Without hesitation, I knocked and pushed open the door, stepping into the tense scene.
Cassandra was standing across from Mr. Rodriguez, her face was red with fury, with pieces of what looked like a coffee mug scattered on the floor. Rodriguez looked rattled, his hands raised defensively.
"Cassandra," I said coolly, breaking the tension in the room. "Didn't expect to see you here. Trouble with your charm offensive?"
Cassandra turned around and narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here, Layla? This doesn't concern you."
"Oh, it very much concerns me," I replied, stepping forward with Helena at my side. "You're trying to sabotage my deal with BioSource."
