Uncovering Secrets

The company has been closed for a while now. I thought things would be normal. I was wrong. It looks like the real game is now starting. I learned a few moves in the past but this time is different.

She nods. “I’d say that… I’m glad the worst is over though, that it’s now in the past,” she adds with a smile.

“I get a feeling that it isn’t,” I say and I look away.
