Vera had a grave expression on her face as she stood in the doorway.

Laney stammered as she stiffened up, "why are you here?"

Vera softly smiled and interrupted Laney before she could finish her words.

"I came in to ask you to turn down the music since it's a little too loud.Leo is taking a nap at the moment."

Vera looked at her quizzically and asked with a smile, "What were you doing just now? You looked scared when I came in.You even dropped your phone on the floor."

"It's just...oh well, I didn't expect you to come in."
