"Security, escort both of them out. They are off the search!" Melissa's words shocked me. I watched in disbelief as she distanced herself from me.
I was taken aback by her command, blinking rapidly in surprise. She should have noticed something was wrong somewhere! How come she was still composed even after losing the will document? This wasn't Melissa I knew- or I thought I knew.
'Something is wrong,' I thought, unable to shake the feeling. I felt a palm touch my wrist and I looked up to see Jeraldine signaling to me I shouldn't put so much thoughts on it. As long as we had what we came for, there was nothing she could do.
Maybe her silence was her new way of surrendering to defeat.
"Melissa, hold on," I heard Alex say as I was about to leave. My eyes widened as he hurried towards her. He held her from her back, pressing his chest on her back. "You literally left me there," Though he whispered, I could still read his lips.
