Powerful Heartbeat Part 41

Lex inserted her key in the door. "Please wait here, I'll grab the list for you." She told him sternly. "Ok, yes, sure." He said. She walked to her computer and grabbed the list. She headed back to the door and handed him the list. "Ok, great. Thank you." He said. She nodded.
