Chapter 50: Lost
He decided to wait by the door for some time. He had no idea where she might be. But she will return to work. He checked the time. There were only twenty minutes left for her lunch break to be over.
He waited for almost twenty minutes, and he couldn’t find her. He wondered if she was already in the building, or...
Could she be in danger?
He decided to call Henry to know where she was. Henry knows her location at all times. Any time she goes anywhere, Stanley, who was watching her will inform Henry. Henry would know.
Just as he was about to find a phone booth, he saw Marcella alighting from a cab. She was in a hurry as she paid the driver. Her hair was messy, and she almost twisted her ankle as her shoe slipped as she stepped on the curb.
He rushed to her.
Marcella was panting even though she was driven back. She ran all the way to their apartment and had to check on the baby. By the time she had reached there, the baby had stopped crying.
In the end, there was no need for her to rush there. She felt so useless and like an idiot. She had no grip on anything and felt helpless. She didn’t know how she was going to proceed.
Also, she was hungry and her legs hurt with all the running. She looked for the wipes in her purse to wipe the perspiration off her face.
"Marcella!"
She looked up surprised to hear Tony’s voice.
"What are you still doing here?" She asked. She thought he would leave after having lunch with Cindy.
