Even Millie was looking at me differently after my interaction with Michael.
She was the only person in the whole office who was nice to me. I panicked at the thought of losing her trust.
“I’ll go get lunch.”
I did not know what else to say. So, I blurted out whatever came to mind and excused myself.
My heart was still unsettled even after I came back to the office. Michael’s action was really suspicious. He could well text me or send me an email, but he chose to talk to me in close proximity in front of everybody.
I went to his office to deliver him the food before going back to my place for the fear of him nitpicking on me. Once again, all my colleagues’ stares trailed my movement as I walked into Michael’s office.
I feigned composure and walked in as if I had real business to talk to him about.
To ensure people outside did not second-guess our relationship, I dropped his lunch on his table and turned to leave.
“Have you eaten?”
Michael called out to me before I walked past the door.
I stopped and looked back at him. “I will go in a bit.”
I thought I was smart by thinking he would let me off the hook if I told him I had not eaten.
