Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 72 You Seem Unhappy To See Me Come Back (Part One)

Sherry was busy in the office, as ferried a thick pile of documents from inside her office to another department.

On the way, she noticed Linda and was about to call her for assistance, but she saw that Linda was staring at her phone distractedly.

She was looking down at her phone like someone had kidnapped her puppy, pouting sadly.

Sherry put the documents on her desk with a soft thud which startled Linda. "Will you take this to Director Langston? He needs to sign all of these," she told her.

Linda looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Don't sneak up on me like that! I almost had a heart attack!"

As she spoke, she patted her chest as if trying to calm her heart down, but she also discretely put away her phone. Sherry noticed this and pulled out a chair beside her, and when she sat down, she looked at Linda expectantly and said, "It's because you were too focused on whatever you were doing. I was not even being quiet!"

Linda only shook her head as she picked up the documents, but she did not say anything else, so Sherry took the initiative and asked, "So what was it? What has you so distracted?"

The staff couldn't play mobile phone during working hours, so Linda looked a little embarrassed. She stuck out her tongue and said, "No, I'm sorry. You know I am a crazy smartphone user. Don't worry, I will get rid of this habit in the future."

Sherry didn't believe what she was saying, but when she opened her mouth to probe further, Linda suddenly stood up and said, "I'll bring these to Director Langston now." Without another word, she left with the pile of documents.

When Linda came back to her desk, she looked around discretely and when she was assured that no one was around, she picked up her phone once again.

She was looking at a message she had sent to Steve yesterday, and the last text from him was the short reply he sent in response.

After that, he had not gotten in touch with her at all, so she sat moping in her cubicle as she turned off her phone with a sigh. She tried to work but her eyes kept on going back to her phone.
