401-The Silent Spectator

"Your office is so beautiful." Maynard had his hands in his pants when looking around and complimenting the interior.

Lazio and he were talking. Christina and Valerie were walking around hand in hand. I had no idea they had met before. I was so clueless all this time, and it irked me. I had so many questions to ask Lazio, but I was keeping myself together at the moment.

We steadily made our way to the office, and while they have been talking, I have stayed silent. I felt so out of place; I didn't belong here.

"I am so sorry! Oh God, I didn't even see you here." Christina unwrapped her fingers from Valerie's hand and rushed over to give me a hug. The smile on Valerie's face faded when she watched us smile and talk.

"Yeah! She joined just a day ago," Lazio answered, not looking too fond of talking about me.
