• "I hope she wasn't here because of the community center deal?" Roxy voices her concern, though aware that Selena's presence is unrelated to the project. Desiring clarity, Roxy seeks Andrew's explanation. Andrew, shaking his head, questions, "Why would she be?" conveying an expectation of Roxy's understanding.
• Frustrated with her ineffective approach to obtaining information, Roxy positions herself in the lounge area, organizing the papers on the coffee table. Sensing the warmth radiating from Andrew, she grapples with an unspoken attraction, wrestling with the urge to surrender to it. Refocusing her thoughts, Roxy reminds herself to concentrate on the task at hand.

As they conclude this segment of the meeting, Roxy presents the money laundering files to Andrew. Frustrated by the situation, Andrew's audible sigh prompts him to rise for a drink. Observing his movements, Roxy is captivated by his physical presence, admiring him like a deity.
