Chapter 11

🦋Actually, you can.🦋

Two days have passed from the day you had last been at Ray's apartment. It was now Monday and that meant that you had to go to work.

You wanted to avoid him as much as possible. You didn't want to be anywhere near him. You tried keeping yourself busy over the weekend to try to forget the event that you had with him, but it wasn't working.

You were fidgety every time you thought of seeing his face again. The thought made you want to curl into a ball and hide in a dark hole.

You made sure to wake up early today and make it to work ahead of time, this time. You didn't want to be confronted by the raven-haired man. Nor did you want to get fired from this job.

You had too many things going for yourself, and you did not want to ruin it just because of your stubbornness.

So if you had to keep your job you just had to suck it up and do what you are assigned to do. And that's what you're going to do.

You pulled into the parking lot, parking in your spot, and got out of the car. You locked your door and made your way to the front door to the building's lobby.

When you got inside you gave a brief 'Hello' to Anna and kept walking towards the elevator. She looked at you with raised eyebrows, not saying anything back, and signed you in before going back to what she was doing.

Many people who knew that you're usually late, was surprised to see that you came so early.

You went into your office and looked down at your shoes. This time, instead of wearing heels, you decided to switch it up, you had on black slip-on flats, so your feet wouldn't hurt.

You even brought your breakfast for this morning.

You were prepared.

You closed your door behind you and walked over towards your desk. You logged into your computer and placed your stack of papers on the desk in a neat stack.

You clicked through emails answering questions and doing reports for your boss.

Not too long later, someone knocked on your door. You let out a light puff and straightened up from your hunched position. You wanted to sound distant and professional so you decided to sound like that.

"Come in."

The person came around the corner making your shoulders lose their tension.

"Oh, it's you, Krone. How are you?"

You had a small smile on your face as you looked at her with your pen between your thumb and index finger, tapping lightly on the desk.

"Good morning, Y/n. It's good to see you. And I'm doing good, thanks for asking," she said cracking the door back and stepping into the office.

She had on a loose white floral shirt and black slacks and flats to match. Her thick dark curly hair was pulled into a low puff and she had purl earnings.

'She looks nice.'

"I want to apologize for my odd behavior on Friday. I was in a stressful spot and I wanted to get home as quickly as I could without running into anything with the mindset I had at the time. I know that I can't keep acting like a child, I have to own up to them and not take my emotions out on others."
