"I like you, Rachel," Daniel said, looking straight into her eyes, while Rachel looked perplexed.
"Look, I know this might come out as a shock to you. But I have always liked you since the day we met. At first, I thought it was mere admiration. I was wrong. I like you, a lot actually. But I get it if you don't feel that way." Daniel scrunched his eyebrows, looking at Rachel frown.
"I am sorry. Forget everything I said. Let's just be friends." Daniel said trying to ease the awkwardness.
'Maybe it was a bad idea to tell her about my feelings.' He thought.
"No we can't be friends." Rachel said and walked out of the door. Daniel immediately followed her out.
"I am sorry," Daniel yelled, making Rachel halt in her tracks.
"I understand. Things have become awkward between us. It's okay if you don't want to be friends with me." Daniel said, bowing his head in shame.
"Can we talk in my office?" Rachel walked away, without waiting for his reply.
