Federico trailed Dario into the laboratory building, but rather than making their way to the small office, they veered toward the break room, which stood vacant at that moment.
The two brothers rushed past the small office, hoping to avoid detection by others.

He reserved his lighthearted, goofy nature only for those he considered trustworthy.
Catching Charlies's concentrated stare, Bruce scooted closer to inquire, "Yo, Prince Charlies, what's caught your attention?"
But Ivan, seated close by, swiftly yanked Benjamin away and shot him a warning glance before declaring, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for a moment?"
Benjamin went quiet.
