"What is he looking for you?" Lucy exclaimed.

Yasmine had told Lucy about her breakup and mentioned Irene too. Remembering the day she saw Yonas enter the building, she smiled bitterly, "Probably not, it's all work-related"

"Yasmine, stop thinking about him." Lucy's voice softened.

"I know." She constantly reminded herself not to think of Yonas, but the more she tried, the more she did.

"Yonas, who was that on the phone last night?" Irene's voice was soft but had an unspoken sharpness.

Yonas felt a wave of irritation. "What is it?" he didn't want to answer the question.
