Chapter 22 Strictly Professional（1）

• I didn’t stop moving until I was locked in the bathroom. I couldn’t make the same mistake twice. The door jiggled moments later. I placed a hand on my chest, afraid my heart would jump out. My back dug into the sink, and my free hand gripped the porcelain.
• “I know you are in there, Beth.” Mouth sealed, I said nothing. “Please, Beth. Come on.”
• There was no way to tell how much time had passed since the jiggling stopped or Waylen left. My phone was in my purse, so the girls wouldn’t have been able to contact me. I had to go before they got worried. I exited the bathroom. The hall was empty. There was a corner leading to the interior, and I had a feeling he was waiting for me there. I looked behind once, scared to leave my sanctuary.
