I felt like time froze for a second once I saw him. He was already standing on the other side of the office, walking over to me as I stepped in, inviting me to take a seat in the small living room he had instead of across his desk. He seemed happy and full of energy… one I couldn't match or more like wouldn't even if I could or wanted to.
Stay calm. I sat down, arranging my notes and everything I brought on the centre table, avoiding his eyes since I needed to get this done fast. "Okay, so… today on the team meeting—"
"Sorry to interrupt, Miss Burry. But I've been meaning to ask… have you been alright?"
"Pardon?" Why is he suddenly asking me that?
"Last time, you said you weren't feeling well and you seem a bit off today too… have you not recovered yet?"
"No, I haven't. I won't be fine if I keep seeing you. I don't even know if I can recover thanks to you." It's what I wish I could say. "I'm… I'm feeling better now. It must be that I'm a little tired. That's all."
