I ordered a taxi and made my way home, experiencing a wave of relief come over me. I entered my house through the front door and placed my bag on the ground and then released a long sigh.

I was seated at my desk, attempting to concentrate on my tasks, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Lucas and our incomplete discussion.

Lucas POVI entered the office, searching for Audrey. I had to talk to her about the Johnson account, but I couldn't locate her at all. I walked up to the receptionist, a pleasant lady named Karen. "Hi, Karen, do you know where Audrey is?" Karen glanced away from her computer, a look of worry on her face. "I don't know Mr Lucas, Audrey hurried out of here roughly an hour ago." "She appeared quite concerned." My eyebrows raised in astonishment. "What? Did tell you where she was heading to?" Karen moved her head side to side. "No, she simply picked up her purse and went."

"This is the second time she has hurried out of here unexpectedly." I expressed my gratitude to Karen and
