It has only been a day after everything had taken place and I was certainly not in a good mood, however, after the return of Butler Barkley, I've become less furious and seem to relax a little more.
Butler Barkly had quickly returned once he learned about everything that took place during his absence.

For the next couple of minutes, I tried to clear my mind and return my focus to my work, and thankfully it worked. It only took me a minute or two before my mind was cleared and very soon, I resumed my work.
I had forgotten about her.
