'F*ck! How long has he been standing there? Did he hear everything?'
Elle's mind was in turmoil. She did not know what she would do first, whether she should answer his question or shut the computer down in front of her.
Erick was confused seeing the shocked expression on her face. She looked like she had seen a ghost or more likely she looked like she was caught cheating by her boyfriend.
Erick's brows furrowed into a knot as he did not get any response from Elle. 'Why does she look so troubled? Is she nervous? But why?' Erick pondered to himself.
Erick cleared his throat to break the silence. Elle snapped back after hearing it. Her mind started to function again but her heart was pounding rapidly on her chest.
'Elle, what are you doing? You are about to get caught. Think clearly!' she scolded herself. Elle put her right hand on her chest and breathed in deeply.
