Layla drank the water and placed the glass on the table before picking up the pen. Opening the file in the black folder, she keenly read the contents inside before putting the signature on it.
She didn't realize Lucius had entered the office as his steps were quiet.
"Ahh!" Layla screamed when she felt two hands on her shoulders and tilted her head up.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," Lucius said.
"When did you come?" Layla inquired, rubbing her chest.
"Just a moment ago," Lucius replied. "You were so engrossed in the file that you didn't notice," he added.
"Is your work finished?" Layla questioned.
"Yeah. I'll sit quietly there and let you finish yours," Lucius assured her. "Or if you want to help me, then I can."
Layla shook her head. "Just sit there," she stated.
