Anna was swirling in her chair, staring out into the night view from her transparent office window. When she twirled around again, she began to work on her laptop and her phone began to ring.
She flicked her eyes to the screen to see Aidan's name on it. Ignoring his call, she continued typing on her laptop.
Her phone rang again, but this time, it was Fred calling. She picked it up immediately.
"Are you still in the office?" Fred asked with a tone of concern.
Anna narrowed her eyes, her fingers pausing mid-air above the keyboard. "Why do you ask?" she questioned slowly.
"It's nothing," Fred replied. "Just checking in on you. It's getting late."
She leaned back in her chair, eyes narrowing with suspicion. "When did you become someone to dictate when I leave work?"
Fred was quiet for a while before muttering. "I'm sorry, ma'am."
"Is your boss asking you where I am?" Anna demanded from him, knowing he knew who she was talking about.
Aidan.
