Take Me Away

Spencer stood at the door for some time. He grew nervous in an instant as Fiona moved a little in her sleep.

'Fiona, I was the same age as you when my mother died. The happy life I'd dreamed of at eighteen was quickly destroyed. Do you have any idea how much I hate you? I don't know who else to hate.'

Suddenly, the phone rang in the living room.

With a frown, Spencer regained his composure and went to answer it "Hello? Okay, I get it. I'll be right there."

The noise interrupted Fiona's slumber. Hoping to figure out what was going on, she slowly got out of bed and tiptoed her way to the open door. She got there just in time to catch Spencer on his way out in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" Fiona blurted out.

He stopped, turned around, and said, "There's an emergency I have to deal with."

"Are you leaving?" Fiona frowned.

"Yes." When Spencer went to open the door, she stopped him.

"What about me?" she asked, a little anxious.

Spencer stared at her for a few seconds and said, "You can stay here. I'll be back before the weekend and take you to the city."

Fiona nodded, "Okay, be careful."

He cleared his throat and said, "Hmm."

With that, he finally opened the door and walked out.

Fiona found her way to the balcony. Looking down, she could see Spencer striding forward with Johnson by his side, a serious look on his face. He then took out his mobile phone purposefully.

Sure enough, the man looked devastatingly handsome.

She pursed her lips as a thought suddenly occurred to her. Perhaps she could design a necklace for men. It would be the perfect entry for the ZR Company's jewelry design competition!

With that in mind, Fiona rushed downstairs. As soon as she was out of the building, she caught sight of Johnson.

"Hi, Johnson!" Fiona called out.

"Hi, Fiona! Why are you out here?" he asked, smiling

"Oh, I'm going back to my room." She gave him a faint smile. "Has Spencer left?"
