When it was her turn. Ava finally lifted her head and looked towards the indicated room. She took a deep breath before. grabbing the handle of her case and wheeling it behind her.

A woman was seated behind a large desk when she let herself in. She didn’t even look up when Ava closed the door and left the bags just inside. The woman was typing something on her computer, and Ava took the opportunity to study her.

She realised she would see many new things here and had to get used to it, no matter how short her stay would be.

“Sorry,” she whispered.

Mrs. Benton kept her gaze on her a moment longer, and then she continued to flip through the file.
