Linda noticed that I was still there.
“Why aren’t you going home?”
“Robert asked me to stay.”
Her expression changed.
“Emily, are you sure about this?”
Before I could answer, Robert appeared in the doorway.
“Linda, you can go. Emily and I have some business to take care of.”
A few minutes later, Robert and I were the only people left in the restaurant.
He called me into the back kitchen.
I stepped inside.
He closed the door and turned the key.
My heart began pounding.
“Why are you locking the door?”
“So nobody interrupts us.”
He slowly approached me.
“You need money, don’t you? Then you’ll do what I want. And you’re not going home tonight until you do it.”
I backed away.
“I never agreed to anything like that.”
“You don’t even know what I want yet.”
“Please open the door.”
He didn’t move.
