"That was so uncalled for," Acacia mumbled under her breath and speed walked towards the elevators while Bradley followed closely behind her.
Acacia reached for the elevator button and Bradley grabbed for her hand instantly triggering her fight or flight response.
"Don't touch me," she yelled out while pulling her hand back.
"I'm not going to touch you," he said while he held his hands up.
