Khalid POVI tried not to go and check on her, but I found myself doing just that. I just wanted to see her—I wanted to see that woman I hated so much. I forced myself to leave and headed to her room. On getting there, I placed a knock on her door. I didn't even know why I did that. I should have just barged in. After what seemed like forever, she finally opened the door.

I asked. It's not like I can't push her and barge in, but I just wanted to create a good impression and then turn the game around.
