For the second time of the day, Jay was left all alone, his mind in turmoil.
He was in the office's lounge—the one that managers normally use. Managers were always busy with their artists, so the lounge was empty most of the time.
Jay clicked his tongue as he downed the espresso shot like it was some kind of alcohol.
Just then, his thoughts were interrupted when someone came in.
Jay didn't know what he was expecting, but when he saw Lei in the room, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
He jumped in his seat and placed his hand over his heart.
"Well, you seem awfully shocked," Lei said. "Isn't this lounge supposed to be for managers?"
Jay wasn't able to speak for a good minute.
Then, he shook his head.
"I just thought you were with LUNAIRE," Jay said after a while.
"And I thought you would be with EVE," Lei answered with a small smile.
Jay pursed his lips, feeling upset all of a sudden.
