Donatas stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his face solemn, frowning as he stared out the window.
The sky was overcast, much like his mood at the moment.
Back in the day, he and Poliana were as close as two peas in a pod, but ultimately couldn't withstand the harsh reality.
Now, both had their own situations, and meeting again could only bring a sense of helplessness.
Donatas had once thought of rekindling old feelings, considering it a union of strengths, but Poliana rejected him without hesitation.
She didn't say anything excessive, but the disdain in her eyes was uncontainable.
So they never met in private again, and at most just greeted each other when encountered in certain public places.
But yesterday and today, Donatas had no choice but to seek out Poliana, because he was in trouble.
The mining rights for the two mines he purchased were about to expire, and it was said that other forces had their eye on them.
