Worried colleague

Vera woke up around midday. She showered and checked her energy, but she was completely healed.

Dealing with that man had quite a few perks. It was a pity, a little, that it was over.

She packed her things, leaving out just a few things for the day. She was ready to depart anytime, as soon as she heard the order from the agency. She wouldn't waste a moment staying close to Sara.

When someone knocked at the door, she had just finished combing her hair. She pulled the handle, but the door resisted. It was locked.

She frowned. How did Neven get out? Did she sleep-walk and lock after he left? Did he use the window of the terrace? But that one was closed as well! Had he teleported away?

She opened, getting her nerves ready for yet another few awkward minutes with Sara, but the woman wasn't there.

It was someone else.

«Ethan!» she said, smiling. Her face was radiant, so much that Ethan winced in surprise.
