It was already nearly seven in the evening and I really opt to go home before nine, leaving me an hour to finish my tasks for today.
I just took a sip on my coffee before working again. I was so engrossed in working that I did not notice that Elijah is already in front of me.
If he didn't knocked on my table, I wouldn't know that he's here.
"Hey," I said. "You need anything?" I asked.
His brows were creased. "You have you had your dinner?" He asked instead.
I shook my head and turned my attention in my laptop again. "I will eat at home later," I said, not looking at him.
"You should eat, Ms. Romero." He said.
"Later, Sir. I need to finish these all tonight," I said, still not looking at him.
I heard him took a deep sigh and put something on my desk.
"Bought you a dinner. Please eat will you're working," he said.
I nodded, eyes still fixated on my laptop. "Okay. Thank you," I said.
He left after that.
But I forgot about the food. I just remembered that it was sitting on my desk when I was about to leave. I just took it and brought home to eat.
The next day came and Ms. Vera is in the office again. Elijah toured her inside and introduced to all of the employees. And when the lunch time came, I saw walking side by side until the elevator.
They went inside and I have no idea what happened next.
Elijah didn't come back after lunch time, it was the next day again when I saw him walking to his office.
