The Love From Vengeance

107 OFFICE INTRIGUE

“You know, you don’t have to say a damn word, alright?”

“I’m sorry, sir. But that’s my boss in there. And if you don’t want to do anything, I’m going to call the cops.”

I shook my head, taking my eyes off her. After observing the door, I elbowed it with all of my might. It was quite painful, but I decided to do that repeatedly, compounding the force. And one last strike at the door caused it to open.
