"Kim, was it?" Sera, who worked on the third floor, walked to Lia after lunch.
Lia just finished talking with Noel and turned around to smile at Sera. She still wasn't used to this name.
"Yes?"
Sera adjusted her glasses and waited for everyone to leave before she talked to Lia.
"Yesterday, I saw Tom coming from your floor despite it being work time."
"I see... so?"
Sera was visibly taken aback for a second but then regained her calm, "I was just wondering and thought to let you know."
"Thank you," Lia gave her another smile, "Do you know where he went?"
"No, I only saw him on the stairs. Even if we're against each other, I still think we all should work and support Elder P."
"Why were you on the stairs then?"
"That... Second P asked me to bring him something from the ground floor."
That answer was pretty much flawless and Lia couldn't pick out any faults, yet she felt she couldn't fully trust Sera, much less discern her intentions and motives.
