Kai run his fingers across his lower lip, deep in thoughts. He has a hunch that it was you who picked up the papers. Though he didn’t saw it close, he saw you holding some papers behind your back yesterday. You were shaking and you seem out of focus. When you also went away from his house this morning, you were still bothered but he didn’t dare ask why.

*Should I talk to her about it?*

He got up, ready to go to your office to finally ask you about it but he stopped just a few seconds before opening his office door. *No, that’s not a good idea.* He shook his head and went back to his seat.

“Okay, observe her further first. I have to make sure it is her who got it.” He nodded and agreed to himself and sips on his morning coffee before doing his work for the day.
