into her stomach, and the spicy taste lingered in her mouth. Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn’t expect Lucia, who usually looked very weak, to be able to drink such a large glass

of wine in one gulp. Swallowing the last sip of wine, Lucia turned her empty glass over to everyone, ”And thank you all for taking care of me in

colleagues won’t know. Since her promotion, colleagues in the department had distanced themselves from her, and she was more comfortable on her own.

Down the stairs, Lucia took a deep breath and walked around to a backyard. The backyard was large, with greenery on both

sides and a large pool in the middle. The courtyard was quiet, and Lucia walked to the pool in the evening breeze and slowly walked forward.
