397-Subtle Hints

"And this is the resting area for Lazio and me." Valerie said, pointing at a cozy small room in the corner, "Now you will also be able to enjoy this luxury." She joked because the room had a pretty good view. "Anything bothering you?" she asked when she finished showing me around.

I was a bit baffled, responding slowly and unreasonably. There were a few things that caught my eye, but I couldn't really tell what they were.

"You guys rest here?" I asked with a weak and awkward smile on my lips. I entered the room and found a cozy mattress near the window, with flower pots and lanterns around. It didn't seem like a normal room, something you will see in an office building. It looked like a honeymoon suite.

"Yeah! Why?" She tugged the strand of hair behind her ear and asked me. Her eyes were weird, too. I mean, they were gorgeous, but the way she would stare at me was as if she was looking down upon me. It could only be me and my insecurities making me think that way.

"Together?" I gave a nervous laugh, trying to make it sound like a joke.

"You know! You haven't even seen your office yet," she forced a huge smile across her lips when breaking the concentration from the room and walking me to the office she had prepared for me. She had talked about it nonstop.

When she reached the office and saw a big lock on the door, her smile faded.

"Why is there a lock here?" she frowned, talking to herself. My office was on the third floor with the other employees.
