“Tomorrow?”

“No.”

“Next week?”

“No.”

‘s no forever.”

He smiled slightly.

“Okay.”

I left the office late.

Again.

The building was quieter than usual.

Lights dimmed.

Security doing their rounds.

I walked to the parking lot with my bag over my shoulder and my phone in my hand.

Then paused.

Because Marcus was there.

Leaning against his car.

Like this was not unusual.

“You’re still here?” I asked.

“You’re still here,” he returned.

“That’s my job.”

“That’s mine too.”

Funny dude, how does a ceo have this much free time.

Silence.

Then

“I thought I’d walk you to your car.”

“I’ve been walking myself to my car for years.”

“I know.”

I waited.

He didn’t move.

Didn’t insist.

Didn’t step closer.

Closed the door.

I had stayed late again.

Of course.

The parking lot was half empty.

Too quiet.

My heels sounded louder than usual.

Then

Footsteps.

Not mine.

Behind me.

Faster.

I turned.
