UNEXPECTED SITUATION

Chapter 26

"Why did I even ask?" She inquired again, stepping out.

"Olivia! Come back and remove this thing from here!" McCarthy yelled, but his glass door muffled the noise, preventing her from hearing it.

"I'll punish you for this, and everything!"

He sat in his chair and sighed. He remained silent, contemplating what to do next, while the vase stood right in front of him. He lightly tapped it with his finger, then stared at it as if it were completely unfamiliar to him.

"Is everything alright, Sir?" Nelly asked, noticing the strange look on his face and his hurried departure, as if someone were chasing him.

Olivia observed it all. His mood shifted abruptly.
