Lie To Me novel Chapter 21

Well, they are always like that. They are like children fighting. And how often do they quarrel? I lost count but nonetheless, they are still friends.

Mikael love teasing Hans using me. He knew that the latter would not be silent when it came to me. And in Hans defense, he knows Mikael too well to let him speak to like how he did to other girls.

Yes. He's that over protective. And for Mikael, he only does that with Hans. And without it, he's so professional.

"I'll come back when I'm not full." I said to stop the conflict between the two.

I was sitting in between them, then my other teammates were next to Hans and in front of us.

"Ma'am ate really poorly, Sir. Like a baby." Ruth said, my assistant.

"Oh yes, Sir. When there's food in the team, if not two, they only eat one pear. It's always liked a diet." Another one, Camille.

"I'm full right away." I just said.

Mikael raised his fist. "Maybe that's how big your stomach is." He said.

I blinked.

"OA you." I said. I ignored him and just ate. They did the same even though from time to time there was an inserted story.

"I don't want to, I'm full." I refused Hans to have a container of pasta on my plate.

"You just ate a little." He said.

I shook my head. "I put a lot of rice. My stomach is already heavy." I said.

He nodded and let go.

"Anyways, guys. I'd like to congratulate you for a job well done. Our clients are so impressed by your ideas. And I thank you for giving your all for this project." Mikael spoke. Everyone fell silent and listened.

"I also like to congratulate your leader for a great presentation. Seriously, your team is very solid." He added.

"Of course not, Sir. And I'm also a maid. This is Russel." He said.

"Oh, that's it?" Mikael acknowledged.

"Yes, Sir. He's good. He actually almost made designs." Daryll said.

"Is that so? Well, it was nice meeting you Russel. And good job." Mikael said, he was smiling.

"Thank you, Sir." He answered.

For a moment, I forgot that he's here with us; that for almost two weeks, he's working with my team.

It slipped my mind. I was so occupied by the project and with the childish stunts of Hans and Mikael. I forgot that he was there, sitting at the last chair of this table and constantly glancing on us. Observing us silently.

I sighed.
