But this was wrong

Eleanor stepped out of her car and took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

She felt exhausted and anxious, and the thought of facing Alan at work was overwhelming.

As she made her way toward the entrance, she could feel her heart beating faster, and her palms became clammy.

She took another deep breath and tried to focus on her breathing, but the feeling of dread persisted.

As she entered the building, she noticed that Alan was already there, pacing back and forth in front of the workers.

He looked furious, and his eyes darted around the room, scanning everyone with suspicion.

Eleanor tried to approach him, but he didn't even acknowledge her presence.

It was as if she was invisible to him. Alan continued snapping at everyone, and Eleanor could feel the tension in the air.

Alan was different, a shadow of the man she had once known.

He didn't seem to trust anyone, and his anger was bubbling beneath the surface.
