Chapter 17: Let's go

There was a sudden lump in my throat. I could not breathe properly.

My heart began heaving up and down in panic as he continued to look at me.

Did he notice? Does my brown colored contact lenses look so fake? Can he see my actual blue eyes?

"Y-You're quite too close, sir. Please, put some distance. People might misunderstood us."

"No one is here than us," he said as a matter of fact. I think I might have a heart attack at this point. What does he mean by that? Why does it sound different?

"You're being unprofessional today, sir. Please respect my personal space as well as my working space. I want to work a normal and peaceful work," I said. I made sure to put some emphasis on the tone of my voice so he'd understand I was being uncomfortable with our distance.

Thankfully, he got my point and sensed my discomfort. He pulled away and stood up straight.

I fanned myself through my hand, as if the A.C alone is not enough to make some air. I was sweating for God's sake!
