"Who is calling out to me?" Afina blurted as she hurried to stand beside Gia behind the door.
She could hear approaching footsteps and that prompted her to squeeze her head beside Gia just in time to see a high-house security guard stopping in front of their door.
"Is this the room of the blue-haired girl?" the agile-looking man in a black suit and also a black headset shooting from his ear asked.
Gina nodded. "You are in the right place"
The guard had already seen Afina and he need not be told that she was the one he demanded.
"Come with me" he instructed.
Afina stiffened straight away. Why should she follow the guard?
Had she done anything wrong?
She could not bring herself to talk but Gina did the querying for her. "Why?" the girl asked sharply.
"The matron wants her," said the guard.
Even Gina couldn't dare to say anything after. She only looked on at Afina with empathy and nodded for her to go.
