DENNIS

When I reached the door, a question I had meant to ask suddenly occured to me. I turned back to find her gaze still on me. "What is it?" She smiled.

It felt so good to see her smile and not glare at me like she has been doing for the past days.

"I have a question," I said as I slowly walked back to her.

"Okay?"

"The other time, when I was telling you about the properties I sold, you said you saw the documents for the sales I made in my drawer?"

"Yes, I said that."

I frowned. "How?"

"Oh yes. I was at your bar," she shrugged. "I waited for quite a while but you would not return so I just left."

"Oh." I recalled manager the times when my manager tried to tell me something when I returned that day. That was probably what he was trying to tell me.

"I had no idea." I wanted to add that she should have called me but then I remembered that I hadn't been picking up calls. "The manager tried to tell me but I was so angry that I told him off." She smiled. "It's okay. I now understand."

I sighed again, berating myself for my foolishness.

I stepped forward and pulled her in for another hug. "Thank you for sticking with me even though I'm an asshole."

"Okay."

I pulled back and gaped at her. "So you agree that I'm an asshole?"

She burst into a fit of giggles.
