Twenty Seven

"What do you want?" Bing snapped at her assistant, feeling the hair on her arms rise from an inexplicable feeling of dread at the look on the girl's face.

The usually capable and unflappable secretary's face was so pale and she was visibly trembling, making Bing's heart thud in her chest and she struggled to stop her voice from trembling.

"Where are the security? Why are you here alone?"

"Miss, I need to show you something." Katie said in a pained whisper.

Bing waved her off and tried to walk past her, "You can show me some other time, I have more important things to deal with right now." She said dismissively but Katie grabbed a hold of her and stopped her progress.

Bing stopped in shock and slowly looked down at the pale hand grabbing her arm then she raised an irritated eyebrow as she looked at Katie who looked terrified before quickly pulled her hand away before putting them to her mouth.
