"Lara," he whispered under his breath, but the secretary by his side heard him, and his eyebrows twitched.
Bella didn't hear this whisper and confidently walked towards him and stretched her hands, "Hi, I'm Bella, your temporal secretary"
The other secretary's eyes bulged out; most people would rather avoid him, but here the newbie was standing out to him.
Lucas looked her over again and again; he couldn't help but feel disappointed; yes, he knew that Lara was no more, but feeling her familiar aura from this stranger sort of got his hopes up.
A strange silence befell the room; Everyone looked as he stared at her; they all felt pity for Bella; it was the first thing they had told her, "Stay away from the demon."
Bella, who was in the center of it all, was unnaturally calm; she didn't feel awkward when her hands hung off in the air for a few seconds without him reacting in any way.
