As she waited at the counter for the order, she looked out into the street and saw the corner of the man's body from the glass window of the store.
The man had stopped. As he turned to face her, he scratched at the back of his neck. Something flashed in the corner of her eyes and she noticed something like a handle peering out of the man's jacket picket.
The shop was small enough that she could see it clearly. It looked like a hammer.
The contents of her stomach bubbled in fear.
There was a group of people enjoying their drinks and Qian Meng could see that they were about to leave. She wondered where it was safer. How long would this man follow her?
She closed her eyes and tried to force herself to make the decision. She needed to go somewhere where there were security guards. She wanted to turn around and walk back to her office but that would mean that she would come face to face with the man following her.
Or maybe, she could run.
