It has been a few months with not an inkling of her greatest fear coming into a reality. She hasn't even seen Dominus's shadow.
She has become more carefree now, and even a bit cheery. She loved this job, she felt useful, needed, and productive. She missed this feeling, she for once felt free.
Also, the overtime pay is the best, as most of her officemates go home early. She, the one who needed the pay stays late and grabs all the overtime pay the company is willing to hand.
She was about to forget Dominus was likewise in this building if not for that fateful night when she excused herself from her colleagues and ran to buy cup noodles for her dinner.
She was on her earphones and was even humming to the tune when the elevator door opened at the very same time the exclusive elevator for the VIPs did.
She stepped out of the elevator door and so did the man in that parallel elevator at the very same time.
