It was Jayden who opened the door. When she saw him, Sarah immediately stood up from her chair, shocked.
"Sir?"
"You're back?" Jayden asked flatly. His face revealed almost no emotion at all.
Sarah quickly nodded. "Y-Yes, Sir."
"Come to my office."
Jayden tilted his head slightly toward the hallway, signaling for her to follow him. Sarah nodded again without hesitation.
She stepped out first while Jayden remained by the door, one hand holding the handle as he waited for her. After she walked past him, he quietly closed the door himself before following behind her down the corridor.

A familiar ache slowly spread inside her chest again, painful and bitter, yet she could do absolutely nothing about it.
