A week goes by after the incident and swore to myself that I'd never get drunk at a work event again.
I'm currently sitting in the lunch room eating and gossiping with Noa and Daina. Well I'm mainly eating while they tell me all about the drama that happens on their floor. I'm just nodding along and laughing when necessary.
"Are you ok Lor?" Noa says and my head pops up.
"Huh? Yeah why do you ask?" I talk with a full mouth of salad.
"You're more quiet than usual." Daina giggles as they watch me rush to finish chewing my mouthful.
"Well as you saw, it's hard to gossip with your mouth full with lettuce and ranch." I mumble with a snort after swallowing.
They both gasp simultaneously and I laugh. "We do not gossip, we were simply having a conversation." Noa says confidently, Daina nodding along and I snort again.
"Yeah about other people's business and work relationships." I roll my eyes and start packing up my food.
"She got us there." Daina whispers but I hear her nonetheless.
"I'll see you guys in the parking lot after work." I call out, leaving the lunch room.
I head to the elevator but stop when I hear a familiar voice.
"She's important to me and she will be your future boss so watch your fucking mouth Emiliano." He roars and I slightly flinch at the aggression in his voice.
Who is he talking about? Who's Emiliano?
I turn to walk away but before I can, my eyes catch his and I flush at being caught.
Shit.
He closes his dark, brooding eyes for a moment before opening them and stalking towards me. I fight the urge to flee and plant my feet in their place. As he gets closer, my head tilts upwards to hold his gaze.
That is until I see someone walk out of the room they previously occupied. My eyes meet his and they light up with recognition. I give him a look of confusion but before I can examine him to see if I've seen him before, my chin is gripped in a firm hold and my eyes meet Eziano's dark ones.
