One month later

A month passed, and gradually Lena became used to her new job, with the help from Artemis.

Lena also spent her spare time either looking through work again, spending time with Tina, our visiting James.

Since Tina had a boyfriend, Lena had no reason to worry about her and James, But she still decided to play it safe and keep them apart from each other.

Lena was just about to leave work because it was already fairly late into the night, but suddenly her phone started ringing.

It was a strange time for anyone to call, so she lifted her phone up and saw the caller ID.

It was Tina calling.

Lena thought that the sudden call was a bit strange. Tina normally would call during the day. Also, since Lena was leaving work slightly earlier than she normally would, Tina never called at times when Lena was usually working.

Lena was worried although she did not think much of it, so she quickly picked up the call.

"Hello?" Lena said as she got up from her chair and began stuffing her computer into her bag to bring home.

"Hi, Lena..." Tina began. She hesitated for a long time, and Lena became worried. Tina rarely hesitated.

"Is something the matter?" Lena asked politely as she grabbed her bag and lifted it to carry to the car.

"Are you free now? Can you please meet up with me?"

"Yeah, I'm free now. I just got off of work." Lena said as she stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to go down. There were three other people in the elevator, but Lena did not pay any attention to them.

Soon, the elevator reached the ground floor, and Tina had not yet told Lena where she wanted to meet up, so Lena asked, "where do you want to meet up?"

"Near the hospital that I work at, there is a bar. How about we meet up there?" Tina asked. She had a depressing tone, and Lena felt sad hearing it.

"Ok." Lena responded. She hung up the phone. Then she got to her car and got in, and drove over to the bar that Tina was talking about.

When she arrived, Tina was already inside the bar.
