Caught in the office

Neven returned to the office in the late afternoon, just in time to drive Vera home. He had the amulet in his pocket but didn't know how to start the conversation. He had also promised to tell her everything about himself.

He didn't know where to start. Nor whether he had any hope of finishing the conversation without incidents. Vera knew how to start panicking at the worst moments; not to mention some of her remarks which would unsettle him.

He opened the door to his office and found Vera in front of his desk. She turned, quickly, as if she had been doing something illicit.

«Hello,» he said.

«I... I was leaving the reports on your d-desk,» she stuttered.

«Sure.»

«They told me to do so because you weren't coming tonight,» she added, calming down. Being discovered in his office had made her nervous even if she wasn't doing anything much.
