As I thought... he's upset.
"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to be dumb.
He huffed. "Being an angry caterpillar,"

"What time is it?" I asked one of the people in the meeting room. Everything inside the meeting room was just so bright that I can't tell what time it was. With how fuzzy my eyes were now after endless of this discussion that turns out considerably better than I expected, it was hard for me to look at the wall clock clearly.
One of the people in the room looked at me speechless, then looking at her watch as quick as she could before answering me. "Uh... 5.40 p.m. Mr. Everest," She answered which was enough for me to be very frustrated at the moment.
"Shit! Okay... um... do we have any other things to add?" I asked quickly. The sounds of clocks ticking were getting louder in my ears that I can't seem to hear any other thing that they said.
"Well, there is one thing on this list but if we want to take a brea-,"
"Okay! That would do. Now, everyone...scram!" Everyone stands up and immediately walks out of the meeting room. While they were doing so, I fished out my phone to give a quick text to Stan to tell him that I was going to be a 'bit' late.
After that, I stormed out of the meeting room like my legs was made of wind. Everyone else who was on their way back home stares at me like I was a mad man running away from an apocalypse and all I could think regarding from their gaze was nothing but the stare Stan would give me if I was late for this.
I can't be late. I can't be late. I can't be late.
When I got back to my office, my feet rushed to get to the desk and gather all of my stuff from my wallet, my car key to anything essential that I need to bring back home especially work. I was brimming in pools of sweats and there was nothing cool enough that can dry them off quickly. Maybe I should have been aware of the time back then.
"K- Woah! Man, where are you going in such a hurry," Hayes spoke, entering my office with his hands in his pockets.
I had no time to look at him as I scan the desk to figure out anything else that I need to bring before I get out of here. "There's no time to chat Hayes. I am in the full speed of getting out of here and getting to a date that I promised," I replied. As there was nothing left that I need to bring back home, I went towards the door and leave but not before Hayes stopped me.
"Hey, hey. Slow down... it's not like your boyfriend wouldn't understand you're late,"
I gritted my teeth. "I can't slow down. If I ruined this, I'll be dead by tomorrow if not tonight,"
By the time I went to walk away again, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back towards me. "If he doesn't understand you're late, then he's not really a good boyfriend," My mouth gape open to hearing such words coming from him. What is he talking about? That Stan is not a good boyfriend. Bullshit, Stan has been taking care of me more than anyone else.
"You don't know what you're talking about. Now, let me go," I yanked my hand out of his grasp forcefully - telling him that he was messing with the wrong person. Not wanting to hear another crap coming from him, I rushed out of the place and went as quick as I could to the lobby. Everyone was asking me 'what's with the rush' and some even cheered for me to go faster or some would I assumed that I have a wife and that she was in labour. These people should mind their own business for god's sake.
