The waiter placed a large plate of steak in front of me and I knew instinctively that Ace had over ordered for me. There was no way that I could eat this much meat all in one meal.
“Thank you…” I thanked the waiter politely and he offered me a friendly smile in return.
We discontinued our conversation until we were left alone again. I didn’t intend to look down, but I guess my efforts to look perky didn’t lead to a successful result.
“What are you worried about?” Ace asked.
Everything. That was my honest answer. Everything from my own guilt to worrying about losing my job to not being able to send money home to my mother. I was worried about everything and from so many different angles. However, it wasn’t like I could tell Ace all of that. I knew well enough that Ace was doing his best to help me. I mean, he could have fired on the spot after I outright confessed that I was the source of the leak, intentionally or not.
