"What? How? Are you sure?"
Aila pounded Reese with questions after questions. Marcus saw how pale Aila turned. He took the phone from Aila and talked directly to Reese.
"Reese, this is Marcus."
While Marcus was having a conversation with Reese, Aila sat there contemplating the possibilities. She just encountered Beth a few days ago and now she's dead. The feeling did not sit well with her. Her heart was throbbing inside her chest as if a big catastrophe is going her way.
She glanced at Marcus, who's face turned serious after talking with Reese. He stood up and carried Aila's belongings. He also grabbed Aila by the hand and told her directly.
"You need to lie low for a while, come with me."
Aila nodded and gave Marcus her complete trust. They were such in a rush that Aila was not able to speak with her staff, who looked surprise when they saw them rushing to the exit.
