“What happened to you, my dear?” Lucy, my older colleague, asks me.
I arrive, breathing hard from my run in the street and the stairs.
“Sorry, I’m late,” I apologize directly, trying to catch my breath.
“Jade!” Chloe runs to me, hugging me.
“I’m sorry,” I apologize, taking her in my arms. She holds me tight.
“No, I should be the one to apologize when he took you. We didn’t do anything, again. I was so afraid.”
“We all heard you were kidnapped yesterday, but tell us what happened,” Lucy asks again, worried but also curious.
“I don’t know why Jordan is so interested in you, he keeps bothering you all the time and we can’t do anything to stop him. At least, you don’t look hurt,” Chloe says, looking me up and down.
“He didn’t hurt me,” I want to clarify at least this point. I’m thankfu
