“No. There’s nothing to tell him about Ace.” I cast a glance. “I will talk to him about us. I just hope he will still be my friend after everything is over.” She squeezed my hand. “He will, I’m sure.” After a silence, she shifted and cleared her throat. “So?” I turned to her. “So…

Cutting me off, she pushed me out of the door. “I’ll print those papers. You go on.” Heaving a sigh, I went to the golden elevator and hopped in. There must be some guards up there to control the unwanted accesses. They know Tess, but not me. Would they even let me pass? Should I…
