‘Don’t play around with me…’
‘Hmm? Then you wouldn’t mind if I got serious about you, right?’
I gulped when I recalled his words. We did talk about this, but I honestly never thought…
It can’t be. What if he’s really serious?
Precisely because the thought never occurred to me, I never thought about what I would do if that really happened or how I would feel. What should I do? What do I want to do?
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re serious or not. As long as you’re my boss, we can’t have a real relationship,” I stated my conclusion matter-of-factly before getting up from my seat.
To my surprise, Ace didn’t press me on the matter. Once again, too many problematic things were happening at the same time, and I was struggling to keep the pieces of my life together. Although we somehow managed to navigate the issue with Kyle’s information leak, now we had another matter to settle.
