I was spending some time thinking about her, fantasizing about her and thankfully, I realized it soon enough.

I flipped a page of the file without looking up at her. “I am not the host and it is not my event. Close the door on your way

That only angered her more as she flared her nostrils and came up to me and plucked the file out of my hands.

“Get up, now!!”

I let out a sigh. “Dru, I am working-”

She shook her head, “You work 24 by 7. Now, I want you to get up and come with me outside right now. Everybody is asking for you.”
