A push from Mina sent Vera stumbling out of Robert Taylor's office. She staggered back a couple of steps, nearly falling.

The door slammed shut forcefully.
Staring at the heavily slammed door, Vera straightened up, biting her lip hard to hold back tears.

Gazing at the cold, forbidding door, she bit down so hard on her lower lip that it started to bleed.
"Miss Vera, you'd better leave now, or I'll have to call security!" Assistant Mina said coolly.
Vera took a deep breath, straightened her back, and lifted her chin as she walked right up to Mina. Intimidated by her sudden intensity, Mina instinctively took a step back.
