/"Yes Ivana?/" I pause as she comes up to meet me and hands me a gift bag with a silver sparkling design and satin ribbon handles. I look at it with question, completely confused as to why she is giving me a present and blink back at her oddly. /"Mr Carrero dropped this by and said to tell you, ‘the challenge was too easy, you’ll need to try harder next time.’ She smiles warmly at me as I blink again, at the bag; a lead weight dropping in my stomach and I stare at it. Unsure what to say or even if I should take this at all. This is all new territory for me.
/"Um...Thanks./" I smile goofily, awkwardly, heart rate elevating and I turn and scale the stairs fast as I can, like my ass is on fire. Almost tipping the bag out onto the bed as soon as I get into my room.
