"What's with you today, Amelia?" A person walked out of the elevator. "You delivered the wrong file and now

My pupils contracted, and my mind went blank.
The shock I received from such an encounter was too great. My legs were already turning weak.
When Petra noticed that | had not spoken for a long time, she asked a little worriedly, "What's wrong, Wanda?
Did something happen over there?"

"Ahhhh!" someone started screaming.
"Someone has jumped off the building. Call the police."
