Nicholas stood up from his seat and walked to the guard, signaling him to give the phone so that he can talk to Serina himself. The guards handed it to him hesitantly but with little push of compulsion in to his mind, he gave in to Nicholas.
"You can tell that person to leave. I'm not going out. I'm busy. Also, next time - " Serina mumbled on and on without knowing that the person on the other end of the line has changed.
"Rina." Nicholas muttered softly and this stopped Serina from saying more. "It's me. I'm here outside, at the gate, waiting for you to come out."
Serina looked at the telephone receiver, doubting herself if she was really hearing things correctly. She knew that Nicholas had visited her several times in the past but she didn't expect him to come during this moment. She was just building up her courage to start over again and here he was, crumbling everything.
