409 The Forbidden Fruit
“Um Maynard! What do you want?” I got out of my chair when he walked way too close to my seat and stood behind the chair, keeping a suitable distance between us.
“I want you to check something for me. Lazlo told me he gave you some digits to fill in. I want to see that list.” He cleared his throat and shook his head after he noticed he had made me uncomfortable. I nodded, remembering the work Lazlo had given me.
“Sure, it is here.” I sounded normal, or, may I say, professional. Taking my seat again, I turned the laptop on, and he walked behind my chair to hunch over to see the list.
