“Feeling better?” Lucy asked after a short while.
“Yes…” I replied in a whisper.
Contrary to my words, my head felt light and dizzy. I shook my head from side to side to try to clear the haze but that only made me feel extremely sleepy. My eyelids felt so heavy and then so did my body.
“Malissa?” Lucy called my name softly.
By that time, I couldn’t reply to her anymore. My entire body felt weak and heavy. The last thing I was Lucy’s face before everything went black right in front of me.
“I’m really sorry…”
I heard her voice whisper close to me and then I didn’t hear anything else.
…
“Miss Malissa is gone. We can’t find her anywhere…” the man mumbled.
“She’s gone?!” the boss thundered as he jumped out of his seat.
A deep red color started creeping up onto the boss’s face from his neck and everyone gulped at the boss’s visible display of extreme anger.
