So many, 'what ifs', started playing in her heart. This was the first time she would be conversing with such a high dignitary and she was terrified of making mistakes.

"Lola, are you paying attention?" Richmond had observed Lola's aloofness, as she seemed to be in another world.

Lola gulped down, her anxiety taking different shapes in her panicked heart.
