I stared at Eric in shock, completely unprepared for him to show up at my office.

Forcing down my panic, I tried to keep my voice calm. "You left work early today?"

I hadn't even gotten a chance to hide...

Eric's expression was serious. "If I didn't, I wouldn't have caught you. How long are you planning to keep avoiding me?"

Seeing him like this, a wave of guilt washed over me. The urge to avoid him vanished in an instant.

"I..." I opened my mouth, but no words came out. A mess of emotions swirled inside me. "I'm sorry..."
