They arrived at Bryce's company, and Hera suddenly decided to wait for Mariam in the car. Somehow, she didn't feel the need to see him, let alone talk to him. She was still convinced that he was still angry and didn't want to talk to her.
"Are you coming?" Mariam had asked the minute they arrived, but she shook her head slowly.
"I'll just wait right here for you, Mariam," she answered. "I don't think it makes a difference if any of us goes up to give him the file."
Liar! Of course it does. She wanted to see him with the excuse of giving him the file, but deep down in the pit of her stomach, she felt unsure and a little bit frightened to do so.
"Of course it does. Come on. I won't let you sit here all by yourself!" Mariam reached for her hands and slowly pulled her out of the car.
They made their way past security and into the building. When they arrived, they were greeted by his secretary, who was typing away on her laptop without a single care in the world.
"Hello!" Hera greeted with a placating smile. "I'd like to see the owner, please," she voiced out in the calmest voice that she could muster.
"Is he expecting you?" she asked. Hera didn't fail to notice the look the woman in question gave her from head to toe.
