Ruining Everything

“Young people these days don’t have the stamina…” a man muttered before laughing.

“Don’t say that. It only makes you sound like a dinosaur…” Julianna snapped and then began laughing loudly.

“I’ll take her back first. Thank you everyone for your hard work. I’ll see you tomorrow at the office,” Ace said a little sternly.

“Yes, Sir!” Julianna replied with a salute.

Ace basically dragged me after him out of there after exchanging some polite words of farewell with the team members. I felt slightly better to get away from the crowd of people but being alone with Ace in the car made me anxious in a different way.

“Are you sure that you don’t want to stay? I’m really fine so we don’t have to leave so early…” I mumbled.

The atmosphere felt so tense now that we were alone in his car and Ace’s silence did not help with the overall mood at all. I wondered what he was thinking about before I cursed myself silently inside my head for crying like that and ruining the mood for the entire night.
