021 - The truth

MAEVEA knock on the door jolted me awake from my sleep. I didn’t know how long I must have slept, given my eyelids felt heavy. I dragged myself out of bed and went to get the door; it was Xander with one of his charming smiles.“Good morning sleepyhead,” he teased.“Good morning,” I greeted him back with a smile.“You're not ready for work yet?” he asked, and I was confused. He already knew I had been dismissed from work.I scoffed. “Are you being sarcastic this morning? It’s been two weeks, and I haven’t gone to work because I was sacked. You know that?” I raised an eyebrow at him, and he chuckled.“That means they haven’t called you then. Let’s give them a little more time,” he said, ruffling my hair. “Once you get the call, meet me in the sitting room,” he smiled. I was confused about what had gotten into him.

I was satisfied she was happy with the idea; now I could finally go to work.I downed the last drop of wine in the glass I was holding before stepping out with my briefcase.

Her face looked flushed, and her body looked tense.“Nora?” What was she doing here?
