"Alberto... are you okay?" Queenie's voice was soft, concerned.

The sound of his name caused a stir among the onlookers, including his assistant, who all appeared momentarily shocked.

Noticing Alberto's hesitation, a flicker of hope sparked in Queenie, but she carefully masked her excitement, releasing his arm with a feigned look of disappointment. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overstep. But doesn't this remind you of anything? We used to..."

Before she could finish, Alberto averted his gaze, cutting her off sharply. "Enough."

With that, he turned and walked into the elevator, not giving Queenie another glance.
