202-Everybody Moved On

Beatrice's POV:

Zane and Maddox left instead of ordering anything. I wasn't too surprised because I knew Maddox had only come here to vent his feelings to me.

"Where is Maura?" Pamela walked into the kitchen with empty plates in her hands and asked for Maura.

"I don’t know. When I walked out of the restroom, I found her gone,’ I told Pamela, watching her look around for Maura.

"What did she say?" I asked Pamela, who didn't show me the message but looked extremely pleased about something. I knew there were some things they wouldn’t share with me, and since I was too new, I didn’t force them or try to make them uncomfortable by eavesdropping on their conversations.
