Three Steps Ahead

PUFF!

A woman was standing on the rooftop of the twelve-story building. She had a cigarette held between the second and third knuckles of her index and middle fingers, and as she inhaled the cigarette, she exhaled the smoke out a few seconds after.

While the woman worked on the cigarette in her hand, her eyes were fixed on the academy, which was meters away from her. And as she stared at the academy from afar, she had a stern expression on her face.

BANG!

Suddenly, the door leading to the rooftop was slammed open, and a figure walked out of it. It was a man putting on a blue shirt and black pants. And as soon as he saw the woman, his eyes lit up very quickly.

"Gwendolyn, I have been looking all over for you." The man said, "What are you doing in this building?" He inquired.

There was however no response from Gwendolyn and instead of even replying to the man's question, Gwendolyn exhaled another smoke out of her mouth.
