Manager Chu pressed the doorbell repeatedly. Worry was clear in her eyes, afraid of what could've happened and what Paula had done. Worse. She was concerned that Paula would hurt herself at how she constructed her words.
DING DONG!
"Paula." This time, Manager Chu knocked as if abusing the doorbell wasn't enough. "It's me. Open the door..."
Manager Chu trailed off as the door slowly opened from the inside. However, the door wasn't fully open, barely giving Manager Chu a glimpse of Paula inside.
"Paula?" she furrowed her brows, trying to push the door only for her to realize it was double-locked inside. "What are you — why don't you open it inside? What's going on with you, huh?"
Paula pursed her lips, staring at the panicking manager outside the door. "Manager Chu."
"Hmm?" Manager Chu paused, gazing at Paula with slight panic. "What, Paula? Let me in."
