Ria was at her office precisely on the dot, not late, but just on time, not for lack of trying to be early. However, she had to be honest. It had been such a struggle to get out of bed after having a long night.
Truthfully, she did not have a hangover since she hardly drank much. But she did stay up later than she wanted. She could not sleep. Unfortunately, it was not Edison that bothered her last night but some guy she did not even know.
"Good morning!" She greeted most of her colleagues as she made her way to her table. But she blankly gazed at her still empty desk as she sat on her chair, hardly moving much.
She was between dozing off and daydreaming as her eyelids drooped down and her shoulders slumped on the backrest. "Wake up!" She said to herself internally. "You have to stop this."
But she could not take his eyes out of her mind. She could remember how he looked at her last night. It was like he was out there to get her. But that was crazy.
