Chapter 12

🦋Positivity attracts positivity.🦋

It's been a couple of days since you've had your encounter with Ray. This is a good thing. Well, that's what you wanted to think. But in all honesty, you were growing worried about his well being and his wear about.

You even took the time to ask Emma if she knew anything.

"No? I haven't heard from him today either," Emma said with furrowed eyebrows.

The both of you were in the lounge printing out a couple of papers. You were sitting at the table, tapping your fingers on the countertop while the orange-haired girl leaned against the counter.

"Oh...," you mumbled looking down with a blank face.

"But," you looked towards her with raised eyebrows, waiting for her to continue.

"When I was with Norman one day, I heard and seen that he was talking to him through face time. He looked so tired and stressed."

"I wonder why. Did he looked off or something?" You asked looking at her with waiting eyes.

She looked at you and placed her index finger on her chin before a huge smirk came on her face. "Y/n don't tell me...," she said leaning towards you.

You looked at her in panic.

"Do you have heart eyes for Ray?" She said walking closer towards you bending down with her face near yours.

"W-what? No, I don't." You stuttered. She can't just assume such things. You were just worried. Was it a crime to worry about someone? No. It is not and it shouldn't be. So why was she asking questions like this?!

She jumped making you startled, hitting your knee under the table having wide eyes.

"Y/n!" She gasped. "I never would have thought you had eyes for him! You falling for Ray, the cold, stoic, quiet, nonchalant, man. And then there's you!"

She said placing her hands on your shoulders making you turn your head upwards to look at her.

"The sweet-hearted girl, working in a company for her love!"

"Emma stop-"

"What? Why?"

"Because that's not happening," you said looking away from her, dismissing the conversation.

"Oh yeah. That's right," Emma said releasing her hold onto you and grabbed her papers.

"What?" You asked now curious.

"Well..." she turned around and walked towards the door looking up and down the hallway, making sure that no one was near listening in on your conversation.

She grabbed the door and cracked it slightly so only the both of you can hear.

"Don't tell anyone I told you this," she said lowly.

"I heard that Anna and Ray were no longer together. Well, that's what I overheard from Norman when he was on the phone one morning. And he told me that he was trying to get over the whole thing..." she wandered off.

"By doing?" You said waving your hand in a circle trying to get her to finish her sentence and continue the conversation.

"By doing things- I don't know. I just know he trying to do things to get his mind off things. Who knows! It probably could be by getting drunk off of alcohol, spending nights with girls, drugs, traveling to other places to get away from here, or probably burying himself in more work just at home away from distractions."
