After closing from work, I was ready to head home. My body ached from exhaustion and the first day at this new office had been nothing short of chaos. Everything felt different, and without Maxie around, it was even worse. I didn't realize how much I'd gotten used to her noise and energy until the silence hit me like a weight.
Angel and David's subtle glances didn't help either, something about them felt unusual ,even when I tried not to care, I could feel their judgment lingering in the air.
I had barely walked a few meters from the office when a sleek black car slowed down beside me on the sidewalk, my heart did a little jump that instinctive kind of warning you can't explain and to worsen things I didn't recognize the car at first so I just tried to ignore it until when the tinted window rolled down, and I saw him.
Of course... It was Aec. My ever sweet boss.
