At the office, Pedro sat in his chair with a cup of hot coffee that Anna used to make for him. It tasted strange, not like usual. There was a lack, either too sweet or too bitter. Pedro turned to Anna's desk, which was now empty. The awkwardness enveloped him more and more, making him feel that something was wrong.
Restlessly, he called out to Anna. "Anna!" But it wasn't Anna who came, but a young assistant who had just been hired.
"What are you doing here?" Pedro looked at her sharply. "I called Anna, why did you come?"
The assistant was a little surprised, but in a soft voice she replied, "I'm sorry, sir. Miss Anna no longer works here. She resigned."
Pedro felt like the world was collapsing around him. "What?! Resigned?" Anger bubbled up inside him. "When did this happen?"
The assistant backed away, frightened by Pedro's aura of deep anger. Wordlessly, she left the room. Pedro immediately dialed Anna's number, but there was no answer. He tried several times, finally receiving the message that the number had been blocked.
