Come Home

Erin sat at home after another day of work.

She sat on the modern sofa, with her long legs resting on the coffee table whilst looking over some documents for work.

She held a pencil in her left hand and lightly circled and underlined the important parts of the document.

She reached her right hand over to take her cup of coffee and blew air on the hot drink, before sipping it.

Ring, ring.

A familiar tone rang from her cellphone, so she picked it up without hesitation.

"Fa Shen..." she said after pressing answer.

"Mrs.Yang, please dismiss any staff members in your home." he said plainly.

Erin sat up abruptly, spilling the hot coffee on her shirt.

"Ah! ...No one is here," she said, "Why? Where are you?"

"We will arrive in five minutes," he spoke before ending the call.

...

Erin put the cup and papers down on the table and leaped up. She ran over to the front door like an eager child waiting for their father to return with gifts.
