Valentina ended the call with her mother, and only then did she realize that Damian had still not returned.
Rising to her feet, she walked up to the door to go look for him, just in case he needed help.
But as she pulled the door, it refused to budge.
She tried three more times, before panic set in.
"Hello? Damian? Can you hear me?! I think the door is jammed! Hey, where are you?!" She banged heavily on the door.
When she didn't get a response after screaming, and banging over and over again, she returned to the desk.
Grabbing her phone from it, she searched for his contact to dial.
Just as she pressed the dial icon, she realized that service had disappeared.
"No way! I just received a call from mum. Hell no!"
She tried multiple times, but it was the same story.
Valentina truly began to lose her mind.
"Hello!" She screamed, hurrying over to the door. "Damian? Andrea? Anyone!" She banged, and banged, her voice becoming more hoarse by the second.
