Annie could only leave first, but she kept turning back to check on Cordelia, worried. Everyone knew about Jesse’s ulterior thoughts regarding Cordelia. Was he up to something by retaining her alone?

Annie stopped when she got to the company exit.

Annie searched for Marcus’ number from her phone contacts and sent him a text after a moment of hesitation.
