Leah lifted a faint smile. Whenever someone mentioned Ian, she thought about Han as well.

She was reminded of the scene he made in the office earlier; she had never seen him so angry in the ten years she had known him. She was both frightened and saddened by his reaction. She would never get back together with a madman like him.

“I have to use the restroom. Be right back!” She realized she had been reacting strangely, so she stood up abruptly and she made an excuse to Serena. Serena shrugged, “Sure.”

As she was walking toward the restroom, Leah felt someone following her, and it made her jumpy. She had been feeling as if someone was watching her recently, and now the feeling grew stronger. She stopped to turn around, but there was nobody in sight.

She frowned. Perhaps she had been imagining things. She shook her head before stepping into one of the cubicles in the restroom. Once she closed the door behind her, she heard someone locking her inside.

Leah’s blood turned cold. She tried to push the door frantically, but it would not budge. “Who’s there?” She asked. There was no answer. She only heard someone turning on their heels.

As she gathered herself, she called Serena. Serena rushed to the restroom. She unlocked the door, letting Leah out. “Why are you locked inside?” Serena asked curiously.

Leah shook her head, “I think someone’s following me, and they locked me inside.” Serena asked if Leah had seen the person’s face, but Leah shook her head once again.
