Vera Wave snapped back to reality. She quickly stood up, tightened her bathrobe, and stood barefoot on the floor.
"Kris... Mr... CEO, I..."
"Get out!"
Kris Cooper roared in anger.
She didn't dare make another sound, her steps frantic as she escaped his bedroom.
BANG!
The door slammed shut heavily behind her.
Soon after, a series of strange noises began: first, something crashed onto the floor, then came the sharp screech of a coffee table dragging across it. In the silent night, these sounds were starkly clear.
Vera bit her lip and turned, grabbing her bedroom door handle, only to realize with dismay that her keys were still in Kris Cooper's room.
She turned back. Just as she took a step towards his room, another loud crash echoed from within.
Vera's heart leaped, and she quickly retreated in panic.
