The day after the kiss, Claire avoids Daniel, feeling overwhelmed by her emotions.she is not sure about her emotions and feelings. She wanted to give him a chance. But at the same time she is not sure!

Daniel, meanwhile, is conflicted. He knows there's something real between them, but he also senses Claire's hesitations.

He tries to give her space, but it's harder than he expected. He wanted to be close to her and make things right for them. The ignorance between them is not helping him at all.

Sophia, noticing the growing distance between Daniel and Claire, seizes the opportunity to get closer to Daniel.

She invites him out for drinks after a departmental meeting, and though Daniel accepts, his mind is elsewhere-on Claire. He couldn't even pass a second without thinking about her.even when his mind know that she needs some space but his heart is betraying him.

Sophia can sense his distraction, and though it frustrates her, she's determined to win him over. She wants Daniel full for herself. So she started to play her shitty games to make them fully apart.

She starts planting seeds of doubt about Claire, subtly implying that Claire isn't ready for a relationship, that she's emotionally unavailable.

Daniel listens but remains unconvinced, though the tension between him and Claire continues to grow.
