Zane let out a heavy sigh. "Jenny, Mr. Chambers isn't the only decent guy on the planet. Why put yourself through this?"
A painful lump formed in her throat. She kept her head down and stayed silent.
How could anyone accurately describe the torment of a one-sided crush?
There were millions of men out there, but her heart was fixated on one. She felt elated over a passing glance and devastated over a careless word. It consumed her entirely, defying all logic and reason.
No matter how great someone else was, they could never replace him.
That specific rush was something only he could provide. Unrivaled and totally unique.
Seeing her look so defeated, Zane's heart ached. He reached under the table to grab her hand. "Jenny—"
She flinched away as if he were a contagious disease, her voice turning icy. "Keep your hands to yourself!"
Embarrassed, Zane quickly grabbed his water glass and downed it in one gulp.
Sara arrived a few minutes before Adrian. Norah introduced her to the group, and aside from Jenny, everyone gave Sara a warm welcome.
Right as Sara sat down, Adrian walked through the door.
Adrian and Sara were already quite familiar with each other. They traded a few friendly jokes before everyone finally took their seats.
Noticing that Sara was on good terms with their CEO, the coworkers became even more accommodating and polite toward her.
Once the food and drinks were served, Jenny was the first to stand up. She raised her glass to Norah. "Norah, now that we're working in the same department, I hope we can look out for each other."
Norah clinked glasses with her. "Likewise."

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
