"What do you mean you can't go?" Alexandra asked as a small frown etched itself onto her face, disappointment visible on her face.

She was pretending to be on a call just as Ethan had walked past her desk, catching his attention almost immediately. Their eyes met but she quickly looked away intentionally before she stood up from her seat to walk into one of the nearest empty meeting rooms available. 

Ethan was now intrigued as he watched her scurry to the room while muttering and complaining about how she didn't want to go alone and that she was scared. He saw her close the door behind herself frantically and the curiosity in him grew.
