After a day at home trying to figure out where to move, I got a call from my female boss. She said she knew about my recent situation and asked if she could come to work the next day.
I thought about it and said yes.
Leaving Gavin aside, I have been working here a long time and have started to get comfortable with my work and life. Constant change is not good for me or the baby. Since I have been given this chance to make amends, I might take it.
Only when I went to work the next day, what I expected happened.
I came early, at first nothing happened. But then more and more people came. No matter who came, they greeted me. There were some people whose names I could not even tell. They were very enthusiastic about me, and I felt uncustomed.
When it came time for lunch, Judy, who had been sitting next to me, quietly asked me what I had to do with Gavin.
I knew that I must make it clear to her, or there would be more equivocal conjecture. I said, "Mr. Stone and I met by chance. He helped me and I helped him. We have a certain friendship."
Judy said, her eyes sparkling, "Oh my god, you met by chance and helped each other! Isn't this the bossy CEO's romance story?"
I said, "No, not so. We really met by chance."
"Sister Darcey, don't be so modest. Mr. Stone has pleaded for you. Can you still have an ordinary relationship?"
She was about to jeer when a cold voice came behind us. It was my female senor, Ms. Hemsworth. She said, "Have you eaten yet? If you don't take a break, start working."
As soon as Judy and the others saw Ms. Hemsworth, they went away for dinner together. I smiled helplessly at Ms. Hemsworth and said, "I'm sorry."
Ms. Hemsworth said, "It's nothing, but since you're staying, you should work hard. Don't think about those useless things."
I nodded and she left.
