BLAIR’S POV

The entire day at the office, I was greatly distracted and constantly looked out the window to see at what time my mother was going to drive in.

It was now less than half an hour to the close of the day and there was still no trace of her.

I was now very worried about her and I couldn’t take my mind off the thoughts that something was wrong with her, or perhaps, she was in danger.

The rest of the company staff however, did not feel disturbed by her absence and as long as they were concerned, it was a normal day at work.

“You should start packing up,” Jennifer said, as she walked into the office.

“Huh?” the sound of her voice yanked me back into consciousness, giving me a break from the whirl of thoughts that overwhelmed me.

“It’s thirty minutes after closing and everyone has gone, Blair,” she said.

I blinked my eyes and lifted them to the clock, taking notice of the time.

‘Right,” I exclaimed in a low tone, pretty much, under my breath.

“Why are you still here?”
