When I arrive back after lunch I search for Cassandra.
I know I don't owe her an explanation but I felt she needed one. She and Lex didn't have to say anything, I could tell that they were more than just employee and employer.
"Have any of you seen Cassandra?" I asked the rest of the team.
"She has a meeting," Emily told me. "You don't need to explain to her, you know."
"I know, but I just want to," I said with a shrug before returning to my desk.
I haven't even sat down yet and Carlo walks up to my desk.
"Boss wants to talk to you," he tells me, his eyes clearly full of worry.
"Do you think it's because of the rumors?" I asked him what he expected me to say.
"Nah," he said, shaking his head. I can see from his eyes that he doesn't believe his own words.
He probably thinks either I am really sleeping with Lex or Lex wants to do something to avoid us being seen together too much.
