Lexandro was staring at Aloida with a questioning look. “Come to my office, Ms. Jeansen,” he then said in a commanding voice, before turning his heels back to his office.
Aloida looked at Mark, with her face still pale and her heart racing like a horse inside her rib cage. “I’m going to be dead in a minute,” she said in a low voice, but Mark shook his head.
“Just relax, he will not terminate you. He needs you here,” Mark said in an encouraging way. He even tapped her shoulder gently as a way of assurance.
“Thank you, Mark. I hope he will not dismiss me. I already love my work here,” Aloida replied, with a sad face.
“Go now. Don’t let the Highness, wait,” Mark said in a low and joking tone, which made Aloida relaxed somehow.
She bade Mark goodbye and walked toward her boss’ office.
