Lie To Me

Chapter 50: 49

It was already nearly seven in the evening and I really opt to go home before nine, leaving me an hour

to finish my tasks for today.

I just took a sip on my coffee before working again. I was so engrossed in working that I did not notice

that Elijah is already in front of me.

If he didn't knocked on my table, I wouldn't know that he's here. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Hey," I said. "You need anything?" I asked.

His brows were creased. "You have you had your dinner?" He asked instead.

I shook my head and turned my attention in my laptop again. "I will eat at home later," I said, not

looking at him.

"You should eat, Ms. Romero." He said.

"Later, Sir. I need to finish these all tonight," I said, still not looking at him.

I heard him took a deep sigh and put something on my desk.

"Bought you a dinner. Please eat will you're working," he said.

I nodded, eyes still fixated on my laptop. "Okay. Thank you," I said.

He left after that.

But I forgot about the food. I just remembered that it was sitting on my desk when I was about to leave.

I just took it and brought home to eat.

The next day came and Ms. Vera is in the office again. Elijah toured her inside and introduced to all of

the employees. And when the lunch time came, I saw walking side by side until the elevator.

They went inside and I have no idea what happened next.

Elijah didn't come back after lunch time, it was the next day again when I saw him walking to his office.

I checked my phone.

There's no recent text from him. The last one was the day after yesterday.

He's really busy with Ms. Vera.

Not wanting to overthink, I engrossed myself with work. I was so busy that the time has slipped my

mind.

It was only Ruth who reminded me that it was already past nine in the evening.

"You can go home now. Sorry you had to stay this late," I told my people.

They all said "It's okay, Ma'am." But I know it was not.

I left the office past nine-thirty. I rode the elevator down to the basement to gate my car.

But before reaching my destination, the elevator stopped at fifth floor and waiting there was Elijah and

Ms. Vera.

"Good evening, Ma'am, Sir." I greeted with a smile.

They both greeted me back.

Elijah was looking at me but I moved to the side and leaned my head on the wall, looking away from

them.

"Maybe we should try to go to The Booze. I heard it was fun there," Ms. Vera said, she even held

Elijah's arm.

Elijah turned to me immediately. I arched my brow to him.

"What do you think?" Ms. Vera asked again.

I looked away again and never turned to their way until the elevator opened to the basement. They

stepped out first and the moment I also stepped out the elevator, I accelerated my way to my car and

leave the parking as fast as I could.
