Tasting All My Mates

401-The Silent Spectator

“Your office is so beautiful.” Maynard had his hands in his pants when looking

around and complimenting the interior.

Lazio and he were talking. Christina and Valerie were walking around hand in

hand. I had no idea they had met before. I was so clueless all this time, and it

irked me. I had so many questions to ask Lazio, but I was keeping myself

together at the moment.

stayed silent. I felt so out of place; I didn’t belong here.

“Enya sits here with you?” It was then Maynard cheerfully said my name, and

my body trembled at the mention of my name from his lips. I raised my head

and watched everyone staring at me.

“I am so sorry! Oh God, I didn’t even see you here.” Christina unwrapped her

fingers from Valerie’s hand and rushed over to give me a hug. The smile on

Valerie’s face faded when she watched us smile and talk.

“Yeah! She joined just a day ago,” Lazio answered, not looking too fond of

talking about me.

“How are you able to work with such a huge detraction?” Maynard commented,

and when everyone looked his way, he pointed at the big window and the view

outside.

“Anyway, so when are you guys coming over for dinner again?” Maynard asked

Lazio. From the looks of it, it didn’t even look like they were meeting after such a

long time.
