Before Josie could react, Laura had already left with her phone in hand.

Josie found it strange. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t quite place it. She instinctively followed Laura outside.

Outside, there was a lot of activity. Laura took the elevator, and Josie watched as the numbers changed. When she realized Laura was only one floor above, she decided to take the stairs.

Just as Josie reached the top step, she saw Laura being led around the corner by a man with large hands.

Confused, Josie furrowed her brows. Could this be the man who had called her? But why does he seem so familiar?

She stepped forward to get a better view. As she approached, she overheard their conversation. Laura was angry. “Do you care about her that much? It’s just a meal. I’m not going to harm her.”

Josie wondered who the man was.

Perhaps the man was speaking too closely to Laura, so his words were unclear.

Laura’s voice grew louder. “I did it on purpose! I was being petty. I wanted to see how far you would go for her. Are you satisfied now?”
