Leah hurried aside to pick up the call. “Where are you, Ian?”

Ian seemed to hesitate for a short while.

Those few seconds felt like a century.

Ian sighed. He sounded dejected as he softly spoke, “Sarah, could you drop by the office for a bit? I have something I need to tell you.”

Leah glanced at the time on her cellphone to find that it was now seven in the evening. He should’ve been off work ages ago.

She had so much she wanted to ask him but knew that some matters couldn’t be discussed over the phone.

Thus, she answered, “Okay, I’m coming.”

“Yeah. Take care.” He still sounded so gentle and no different from how he had always spoken to her.

Yet, Leah felt her heart drop.

What had happened so far had left her with a growing sense of unease.

Sasha approached her as she hung up the phone to ask, “Weren’t you two getting engaged, Sarah?”

Leah glanced at her. She, of course, knew what Sasha was expecting.

She ignored Sasha and spoke to Ron. “Ian wants me at the office.”

“Why?” Ron frowned. “What is it that he won’t tell you?”

“I don’t know. But I have to go,” Leah said.

Ron nodded and spoke with absolution. “Alright, I’m coming with you.”

Leah’s brows furrowed as she hesitated. “But…”

Ron interrupted her without a second thought. “No buts. He won’t tell you anything. What if this is a trap? I can protect you. Don’t worry, I won’t interrupt the two of you when you need to talk.”
