Maki climbed the stairs to Tora's office, envelope in hand. He approached the door and barely knocked.
Tora, who was watching the limo pull out of the long driveway, asked, "Who is it?"
"Maki." He replied as he entered the room.
"What do you want?" Tora was still slightly upset from the last time they had spoken, and you could hear it in his voice.
"I have a letter, well at least I think it is a letter, for you." Maki answered, now curious to what was inside the baby blue envelope.
"Is it from that girl downstairs?" Tora questioned, "Did you find out her name?"
"Well I did ask, but.." Maki could feel his cheeks start to burn again.
"But what?" He was getting agitated.
"But she laughed at me and said that you would know." He averted his gaze to the floor, his cheeks a bright shade of red.
Tora's eyes turned wild as he snatched the envelope out of Maki's hand. "Get out! NOW!" He screamed. Noticing the fear in Maki's eyes he stated calmly, "I would like to be alone for a little while. So if you would," he pointed toward the door.
"Yes, of course, Sir." He did as he was told and exited the room, leaving Tora alone with the baby blue envelope that seemed to haunt him.
In the limo...
"That was fast," Cornelious said as he climbed into the driver's seat.
"Yeah, it went shorter than expected," she sighed in disappointment.
He sensed her gloomy mood, "Hey well at least you will get there on time for sure." He gave her a thumbs up, but she wasn't paying attention.
"You're right. They won't be left waiting for hours on end." She said blankly with a shrug and continued to gaze out the window.
