Chapter 28

I was in the sitting area when I heard someone knocking at the door.

When I opened the door I was greeted by a familiar face, though I couldn't place a finger on where I'd seen the face before.

"Hey." The woman smiled at me.

"Hey." I smiled back

"Uhm...I came to see Pauline. Is she around by any chance?"

"Not at the moment but she's out for a bit maybe you could wait for her inside?" I offered.

"Yes. Thanks."

I opened the door wider and gestured for her to enter the house.

"Would you like anything to drink?"

"A glass of water would be just fine."

I headed over to the kitchen and took a glass from the cupboard before taking a container of water from the fridge and poured it in the glass.

"Here you go." I offered her the glass of water.

"Thanks."

Before the woman was even able to take the water, Owens voice echoed throughout the room venomously. "What are you doing here?"
