Amelia woke up angry, only realizing after the man's last words that apart from a throbbing headache from a hangover, she didn't feel any unease or soreness.
She held her aching temple and tried to think back, but found she couldn't remember anything.
She had drunk too much last night and had blacked out. Her memory only went up to when Daniel Cooper had carried her from the restaurant to the car. She had no recollection of what happened after.
She bit her lip, were those marks really left by another woman?
But thinking of it this way, her anger seemed to flare up even more.
But she didn't have time to dwell on that now, because she realized she was almost late.
After quickly washing up, she ran towards the front door. As she bent over to put on her shoes, she heard the man's calm voice behind her, "I've asked for leave for you from the Research Institute. You don't need to go this morning."
