No luck

Before everything else, Nate needed to make Lara sit and relax. She was too tense, and she felt attacked by Ebony's words.

He couldn't decide whether to bring her into the HR office or his own, where she would have been safe from the whole world. Lara pushed him away and walked out, pressing her head between her hands and keeping her breathing stable.

She just murmured a few words before disappearing.

«I'll be back soon,» she said, still conscious of how her disappearance could break Nate's heart.

She had confirmed that she would come back. She just needed a few minutes alone. Maybe, a few hours.

In the company, her cubs were safe. There was someone who would take care of them if she didn't make it in time to pick them up from kindergarten. She could very well afford to disappear for the day.
