The Warning
In the morning Eli opened his eyes, and sat up in bed next to Fiona who was still dead to the world. Her hair was all over the pillow, and Fiona was sleeping on her side facing him with one hand under the pillow and the other at her waist. Eli was gazing at Fiona, and thought Laura was right, she truly looked like an angel. He decided not to wake her up, so Eli sneaked out from the bed, and went downstairs.
In the kitchen, Eli sat at the table with the fresh brew coffee. With eyes half-opened, he was staring at hot liquid in the mug, and supporting his fluffy black haired head with one hand.
Should I call Laura and tell her? What if she's going to believe Lilith over me? I have no proof to back me up at all. Was that the reason that Jeremy left his job? I know one thing for sure that I won't drag Fiona into this mess. Maybe I should wait for now, and see how the events will unfold, Eli thought.
"Handsome," Fiona called, walking into the kitchen. "Are you trying to foretell future from the mug?" she playfully asked.
"What?" Eli asked, and continued, "You're right princess, I should probably drink that, before I fall asleep, and my face will end up in it."
Fiona chuckled, and shook her head. "What you want for breakfast?" she asked.
"I'm not really hungry," he said.
"Is there something troubling you?" Fiona asked, eyeing him from top to bottom.
"No, it must be the whisky from the party," he paused, and asked, "When are your parents coming back?"
"Hopefully in few days," Fiona answered.
At work, everyone in the office seemed to be tense, but no one said anything to Eli. On the hallway, Lilith who looked very upset walked past by him, and gave him the famous evil eye. In her hand, she was holding thick folder, and Eli assumed that she was heading to the conference room.
Once he got back into his office, he wondered how to get the hands on those two contracts that Lilith mentioned about over the phone with Fitz that morning. Eli thought where she would've kept something like that. He wanted to see what was in it, and find out more about mysterious guy named Elmosa. He was just about to type his name into the search engine, when Eli spotted a piece of paper under the keyboard. He took it out, and unfolded the piece of paper. It was a short message saying, "Lilith is after you. Getaway"
