Richard's sudden appearance caught everyone completely off guard.
His face was dark, his expression thunderous. "Rhett, come out here right now!" he demanded, his voice sharp with anger.
Rhett was momentarily taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and stood. He glanced at Dr. Lewis. "I need to handle this. Please continue with the session."
Richard's expression shifted violently, as if he were suppressing a towering rage. It was unclear how much self-control it took for him not to drag Rhett out by force.
His face stern, he turned and waited for Rhett to pass him before striding out the door. Only then did he instinctively glance back at Elise.
But she deliberately avoided his gaze.
She seemed unable to look at him, as if he were something filthy, her eyes filled with nothing but disgust and rejection.
Richard's heart sank like a stone.
An indescribable feeling fueled his anger, making it burn even hotter. With a loud bang, he slammed the door shut.
