"Chloe, I gotta move to M Country!" Rose said.
Chloe gave her a puzzled look, "When do you need to leave?"
"ASAP! Morrison's gonna come for me, Chloe. He won't let me have this kid. I gotta skedaddle before he finds me!" Rose said.
Chloe pulled out her phone, tapped open a flight booking app, and started browsing for tickets.
"All the flights tomorrow morning are booked. The earliest we can do is noon." Chloe said.
Rose nodded, "I need to pack."
"Just like that? What about the company?" Chloe asked.
"You'll have to hold the fort! We don’t have time for a handover; we'll sort it out online once I'm there!" Rose said.
After a full night of hustling, the next day Chloe dropped Rose off at the airport.
As they stood in the security line, Chloe kept reminding Rose to keep up with her doctor appointments, eat her meals on time, and to find a reliable nanny and so on.
Rose took it all in, clinging tightly to Chloe's hand, "The company's gonna take a hit, Chloe. I really appreciate you. I know you've been swamped. I'm sorry."
His whole demeanor was sharp. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the airport entrance, then he strode into the terminal.
"Call me as soon as you land. Don’t rush, and watch your step." Chloe said.
Just as Rose was about to go through security, Chloe started fussing over her again, reminding her of every little detail she could think of! After all, this was Rose's first pregnancy. She had no experience but knew that the baby inside her was the most precious thing in the world.
The person ahead had cleared security. Rose waved at Chloe, "I know, I'll be careful! Chloe, thank you, take care of yourself too, I gotta go now."
Just then, the hand she'd let go of was suddenly grabbed tight! And then, a voice, seemingly from the depths of hell, echoed chillingly in front of her, "Leaving? Rose, where are you off to?"
