“Good, my question is….”
He trailed off once more nearly making me faint in anticipation.
“Did you get something to eat or my deal was concluded on an empty stomach.”
I breathed in relief.
“Oh my…”
I exclaimed still in relief.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing Sir. Yes, I had something to eat.”
“That’s good. You can go back to your office. I’m sure you’re really tired so I’ll leave you to resting.”
“Thank you Sir.”
I spun around and walked away.
“By the way, Justin has been searching for you. Maybe you could swing by his office later.”
“That’s it.”
I exclaimed in my thoughts.
“I knew I actually forgot something, someone. How could Justin slip my mind like that. I didn’t even say hi after the incident. Oh God, I’m a terrible person. If I believed in the universe crap, I’ll think it was preventing us from seeing each other. One problem or the other must certainly arise when we try to meet up. I owe him one so suck it up universe, I intend to pay up.”
“Are you going or…..”
“I’m leaving sir.”
My face flushed slightly. I really have to stop making a fool out of myself.
I walked down the hallway to Justin’s office.
“Like I said, suck it up universe.”
I giggled about to twist the knob. I halted hearing Justin speak. I don’t know why but I just listened keenly. Of course he was on the phone with someone.
“Yes, we’ll meet up later today.
He states making my thoughts go far. Was he seeing someone? I guess I read his signs wrongly. I actually thought he had feelings for me but if he’s on the phone with a woman, maybe I was wrong.
Or could it be an investor or something? It’s wrong listening on his conversation like this, I should just go inside.
“Yes Jenny. The usual place.”
He says. Wait Jenny? As in Mr O’Cornner’s Jenny. He’s in contact with the same crazy ass Jenny.
I thought he defended me from her that day, why would they be meeting up?
What do they possibly have in common to try and discuss.
Well universe, I finally believe. Happy, I believe. You’ve succeeded again because there’s no way I’m walking in now.
Something’s fishy, I intend to find out what. I walked away but stopped suddenly.
“Maybe I should walk in, if I get close to him enough, I just might be able to find something. Get information.”
I got back to his door, gave a soft knock and walked in.
“Hi Justin.”
I forced a smile and he returned it in the sweetest possible manner.
