Trouble

"How much longer do I have to stay here with you?"

She asked as he took one long look at the door behind her.

" You don't have to stay any longer _"

Her phone rang, interrupting him. She took one look at the screen and her eyes became huge..she had an habit of widening her eyes when she was surprised. He liked the view but he was never sure he would like what came with the expression.

" Well?"

He demanded. She did not reply him. She took the call and placed the phone on her ear. It was Helen calling and she was crying.

" Helen, what is wrong? Why are you crying?"

She asked. She was alarmed. She stood up while she was yet to get a reply from Helen.

Helen spoke into the phone and then call ended. She was still crying when she dropped the call. Laura bolted for the door but Nicholass was behind her in a jiffy..she had difficulty trying to open the door with her fidgety hands but Nicholass reached the door and held it open..she ran off the office. He locked the office as fast as he could
