In a battle - II

Joyce wanted to text back but she could not. She did not want to do it to be exact.

Whoever this person was, they might remember the name Joyce and her brother had for each other while growing up, it still did not mean that she could trust them. Not with her sister and her father, knowing the names as well.

"God." She whispered in annoyance and sat down on the floor. She ran her hands through her hair only to bring back a few strands of hair with her movement.

What the hell should she do?

The door opened, someone came in, but stopped. "Ma'am? Mrs Murphy?"

Thank God, joyce closed her eyes. She raised her hand, pointing that she was behind the desk while sitting on the floor.

"Ma'am?" Alfred came behind the desk and crotched down in front of it. "Should I call the ambulance?"

"No need." She rasped. "Do you have something for me to do? If not, please send Tobey inside."
