Chapter 14

• The vibrations could be heard no matter how hard Tapiwa tried to ignore them. At times like these, she truly hated working in such a quiet place. She also realized that she should have put her phone on silent. Or better off, just turn the gadget off, but that hadn’t worked yesterday.
• She’d missed a call from her father asking her to buy bread on her way home from the bakery. Coming up with lies to explain why her phone had been off hadn’t been fun. She didn’t want a repeat. Unfortunately, she knew the person currently calling wasn’t her father but instead her reason for wanting the damn thing off.
• Lucky for her, though, her boss wasn’t around. Only Neo, her co-worker, was around. And right on cue, Neo walked around the corner, holding her backpack. Which explained why the vibrations had gotten louder with every passing second.
