I picked up my phone and dialed her number. It rang but nobody responded.
"What the heck?" I muttered and tried again but only to be disappointed.
I have been trying to get to her and have tried to call many times but only to be disappointed. I have been even informed by the office staff that she hasn't shown up in the office from two days.
I wonder what has happened to her.
I scratched my chin and switched my phone off when the attendant announced that we were about to land.
