"Hey there, Mr. Hart!"

I threw on a polite smile, like he was any other coworker.

Hayden didn't say a word. We brushed shoulders as I walked past, and as soon as I was out of sight, my smile faded, leaving this tiny spark of bitterness. I hopped into the company car and headed to the address Sasha gave me. When I got there, she hadn't shown up yet. I shot her a message, and she told me to grab a seat and wait.

While I waited, I checked my phone. There was a new text from Yuna. Scrolling up, I saw a string of messages from her-most of them apologies and her defending Hayden.

I stared at her text for a second, then replied: [I'm fine and back at work. As for Hayden and me, you don't need to worry about it.]

She replied instantly: [He loves you, I swear it.]

I didn't respond, but she kept going: [He tried cooking for you, got distracted, and burned his arm.]
