By now, it was nearing dusk, and Elliana Lyle sat in the front passenger seat of Norman Bennett's car, feeling extremely anxious.
Earlier that afternoon, she brought Norman some soup she had made, but instead of enjoying it, Norman had to throw it away as he was called into a meeting, leaving her to wait alone in the office.
But after she answered a phone call for Norman in the office, she had been feeling very nervous ever since.
Initially, she thought it was just another client calling, and as she was the only one in the office at the time, she had no choice but to answer it herself.
To her surprise, as soon as she picked up the call, Norman also picked up on his end. Due to the interconnected phone system in the company, she could hear Norman's voice.
Not wanting to disturb them, she cautiously moved the phone away from her ear. But just as she was about to hang up, she heard her own name mentioned in the conversation, and curiosity compelled her to listen in for a moment.
