Episode 19
I quickly turn and rush out of the office. I made it back to Victor in no time.
I approach Victor with a nervous smile, and clear my throat.
“So, are we good to go?” Victor asked me.
“About that… I think we’ll have to raincheck. I have an unfinished business here”
Victor sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose. Then he nod.
“Tomorrow then?” He asked.
“I’m not sure, but I’ll call you when I’m free” I said.
“Ok. I’ll be expecting your call”
He entered his car and drove off. I turn back and enter the building.
Just when I’m about to step in the elevator, I see Bright running towards me, making signs for me to hold the elevator door for him.
He enters the elevator with me and press 59th button.
“Mirabel, you’re looking good” he said.
“Really? Thanks” I reply.
“I guess you’re here to drop Jackson's lunch”
“Yes. Right, do you know about the new rule?” I asked.
He furrows his brows at me.
” What new rule?” He asks back.
“The one that states I must have lunch with Jackson every day”.
He has a confused expression on, but recognition suddenly flash in his face.
And he breaks into a grin.
“Yeah. I know about it" he said.
Just then we arrive at Jackson’s floor. We step out and walk to Jackson’s office.
We were getting close to Jackson’s office, when Bright wraps his arm around my waist.
I look at him feeling confused as to why he suddenly wrap his arm around me.
He just laughs and say, “play along”
I’m so going to irk Jackson today. I wanna see how long he’s gonna hold up, untill he accept his feelings, he said in a low tune.
