"Are you okay?" He sits on the floor against the glass wall where she was resting her back. They sat in two opposite directions.

"Are you?" Those two were all that took everything from him. Even his heart. 

Lev Astor Venezio had everything in the world until one day Vallie Laurant walked on his door asking for a job. A desperate need to start her life again without looking behind her past. But she couldn't. She was carrying the deep scars of her past to her future that even scared the soul of her. 

"Ryan is forbidden from this place. You are safe here!" Lev stated from another side of a glass window. She said nothing and he continues his words. "I figured it out on my own. You weren't telling me so I did my homework!" He explained to her. She never said anything to him apart from that word. "I need this job!"

"I would be in my quarter." She says holding herself and walking back to a safe place she builds for herself leaving him alone in darkness and silence. He just sat there watching her leave him there. She didn't talk much to him.
