Since yesterday Benjamin had noticed how absentminded his boss has been. "Are you alright boss!" He asked the man lost in his thought. Alex thought randomly, of any possible way, to make Hazel stop her foolish acts.
She keeps telling him she'd kill herself, and with what she did the previous day, he was scared she'd do worse today.
"If you kill yourself, Hazel, I'll kill you!" He murmured, making Ben confused.
"Are you okay boss? Do you need anything?" The man asked again, and Alex came back to reality.
"How long have you been here Ben?" He asked the man before him.
"Uhm... I just got here. I brought in the documents you asked for." Ben said.
"Drop it and leave, I want to be left alone." The man dropped the pile of documents on the table and strode towards the door immediately. The last thing Ben or anyone would want is to annoy their boss.
"Ben!" Alex called when Benjamin's hands twisted the door nob.
