"What's that?" Kalina asked in a shaky voice, pointing at a corner in her office with trembling fingers, her eyes wide with fear.
Lily's eyes followed Kalina's hand to what she was pointing to, and there in the corner sat the familiar gift bag Lily had trashed earlier.
Lily's eyes widened, and she blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Her face twisted into a mask of disbelief and concern.
"How did that get in here?" Lily asked, her voice shaky, her eyes darting between the bag and Kalina.
"I thought you got rid of it." Kalina said, her voice trembling, her gaze locked onto the gift bag as if it were a dangerous creature. She felt a chill run down her spine, and her face paled.
Kalina had received gifts before from fans, flowers included, but for some reason, this one rubbed her the wrong way. Her heart raced, and a dull headache began to throb at her temples whenever she saw this gift bag or a white rose.
