My Dad Turns Out to be Eyes

137

Right now Jessica had curled up in Nathan's chair while the young man stood upright, constantly sipping tea inside his glass. Natha glanced at Jessica who was curled up in a jacket owned by the young man.

Since then Nathan often turned his head to look at the girl, hearing a light snoring from the girl.

"I'm going to the bathroom," suddenly Jessica spoke, attaching the jacket to the back of the chair.

"You know where it is, don't you?" Nathan asked to check on her. "Just go out the door and go left then-"

"I've been here enough times to remember it" Jessica murmured and slowly walked out. 

The girl took a few moments inside the bathroom, refreshing herself before she checked her reflection in the mirror, noticing how her makeup was starting to fall apart.

Jessica then threw the tissue she used to dry her hands into the trash. Slowly, he moved out and back down the corridor, seeing two men in suits carrying briefcases and walking down the corridor. They caught his eyes and said nothing, none of them questioning his appearance in the organization's office.

At first Jessica thought they just didn't care. But he simply could not ignore the feeling that something was amiss. Jessica looked over her shoulder as they suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"Can we help you?" one of them wondered. "You seem to be intending to stare."

"Sorry," Jessica laughed nervously. Is he so clear? "It's been a long day.I just thought I recognized one of you..."

"We don't think so" the man holding the suitcase spoke.

"After all, I have to go."

Jessica started walking back down the corridor in a hurry, her feet treading on the floor as quickly as possible. Only then did he hear footsteps behind him. Jessica started running, but it was too late. He could feel someone gripping his hair, pulling it back before then his back stuck to that person's chest.

"I'm sorry for this, Miss Jessica," he said. "Our boss reminds us of you .. This is just necessary to do ..."

"What?" Jessica wondered, afraid that something would happen.

Nathan checked the clock on his wrist. Six minutes and fifteen seconds after Jessica left. No one should stay in the bathroom, right? She wouldn't be surprised if Jessica had a breakdown there.

CCTV had returned a while ago and there was no sign of Dimitri. The building organization has been declared safe. 

Nathan shrugged and moved up the stairs to leave the organization, making sure he shut down and locked his computer before he left.

He walked through the corridor before then he saw Jessica lying on the floor.

"Jessica!" he shouted his name, his feet rushing towards him before he kneeled beside him, seeing the small droplets of blood on his forehead. Nathan took out his handkerchief and attached it to the wound, making sure he could stop the bleeding.

"Jessica..wake up..ayo..wake up!" nathan urged slowly but there was no response.

Only then did a guard come and ran up to them.

"What's wrong?" ask the guard.

"I need a P3K box and a doctor" Nathan snapped loudly to the guard. The guard was startled but immediately rushed off following Nathan's request.

Nathan helps Jessica to sit up, his limp body leaning against Nathan's side and Nathan helps to have Jessica's head lean on his shoulder. "Come, Jessica. Don't faint. Come on. Get up..."

Nathan pushed his hair off the girl's face. He kissed the girl on the forehead before wondering what had happened to her.
