Inform me!

Lucy washes herself up. She wears her work attire and heads to the living room.

Jeffrey also wore his work attire and sat on the chair

Lucy sits opposite to him.

She takes a sip of the soup.

"Mmm... wow the soups amazing. Oho Mr. Jeffery I didn't know that you had such amazing cooking skills."

"Huh!! There's a lot you don't know about me."

"Then I will be waiting for the surprises then."

"I know I, myself is a big surprise" tugging his collar.

"Tch, such a Boaster"

"I'm not boasting."

*Tling**Tling* Phone notification bells.

Jeffrey turns on his phone and scrolls.

For a few seconds, he gets freeze.

He hesitates to carry on the conversation.

Lucy gets dubious and asks "Hey! What happened?"

Jeffrey turns his head and says "Nothing! we should hurry up"

He gets up, takes his bowl and plates, and heads to the kitchen.

Lucy thinks that he got some bad news that might be the reason he chose to leave a cold shoulder.

Lucy didn't want to poke her nose into his business so she remains silent and packs her stuff to leave the office.

Jeffrey takes some files with him and car keys and locks his apartment.

They reach the parking lot and enters the car.

Jeffrey drives towards the office. There was no conversation in the car just the sound of the radio.

They reach the office, Jeffrey parks his car.

Lucy gets off and slowly goes towards the entrance.

"Lucy..." Jeffrey calls her from behind.

"Yeah?" Lucy without thinking she

answers.

"If you are going out inform me okay? And also we will go together after the office. Don't think of going alone anywhere."

"Oo.. okay"

"And inform me if you are not feeling well."

"Jeffery, what's going on? From the moment you saw something on the phone you are being on guard, is something wrong?"

"I will tell you after office"

"No! I want to know now!" Lucy stubbornly stands and frowns.

Jeffrey sighs, "Fine I will! after we enter the office. There are only two minutes left."

"What?? Then let's hurry."

They run towards the attendance log swiping machine.

*panting* *panting*

"Hell yeah, we made it!" Lucy excitedly.

"Yeah! indeed"

"So, tell me what is it?"

Jeffrey hesitates and then says:

"Don't panic okay?"

"Yeah okay."

"It's about Jay! He murdered another woman yesterday night in the garden."

"My God! That means he is still on loose! Why are these damn police doing nothing"

"He might be hiding too nicely, because of this they weren't able to catch him yet. Let's forget about this! his targets are women so you have to be careful you will be on my watch every second I won't let that bastard touch you, okay?"

By listening to this Lucy feels moved.

"I don't know how to thank you, Jeffery" Lucy sighed.

"Well, if you want to thank me how about you treat me with some delicious chicken drumsticks" Jeffery tousles her hair.

"Yeah! Yeah... I know you are still mocking me because of the morning incident."

They have a good laugh and start working.
