The secret

It had been a long morning, but she still had numerous things to do. She was not complaining because she liked being busy. Still, she felt exhausted.

She was on her way to the manager's office to show him the latest plans for the last leg of the project. She had been working on it last night and all morning.

She wanted his approval before she proceeded with the rest of the plans. However, she had to stop when she heard someone greet her. The voice sounded familiar.

"Jacky?" She could already tell even before she saw her face. "Jacky!" Surprisingly greeting her friend, who she did not expect to see on this isolated island.

She opened her arms to welcome her friend into a friendly hug, kissing her on both cheeks before partially letting her go.

"Haley, I am so happy to bump into you. I have been looking for you." Her friend expressed enthusiastically, but she also noticed the urgency in her voice.
