File thief

''Go away... Don't come here... Shoo...'' 

From the corner of his eyes, Maven glanced at the woman who was sweating so hard while mumbling incoherent words. Everytime anyone hovered around her table, she had this same reaction. 

He wondered what treasure she had in that thick file that made her lose her calm? 

''What are you going to do if you don't find it?'' He paused the video and asked her. 

''You...'' Claire felt like she was being left on a cliffhanger. Here she was so worried about her file, did he have to pause it at a time like this? 

He looked unmoved by her glare. 

''Of course, I will strangle you,'' she said before averting her gaze back to the computer. 

''From top or bottom...?" 

''Huh? Did you say something?" Her gaze flew back to him as she glanced at him questioningly only to find him looking at her with narrowed eyes, something dangerous lurked behind those hazel flecks that she wasn't able to put a finger on.
