"I'm sorry, I think he's pissed that you gave me your time. He says he has nothing to discuss with you anymore." I guiltily deliver Laurius' message to Jadon as I step out of the office. Oh, I feel so bad for myself and for him. He definitely had something to discuss with Laurius Rein and I just ruined it for him for my own selfish interest.
"Stop looking bad for me. I was expecting that." He smiles at me. And it seems so sincere and calming. Why do I suddenly feel really comfortable with him today? "And besides, you're not the only one with selfish interest." He says and I stare at him with my eyes wide open, am I really an open book? How the hell does he know what I'm thinking?
He smiles and offers his elbow to me, "You seem like you didn't get what you came for." He casually says and I breathe out wearily and slide my arm into his own like it's the most natural thing to do in the world.
