"Why are you smiling at me like that?" I asked frowning at her while she just smiled before glancing at the couch.

"I heard you changed the couch yesterday. Why?" she asked turning back while I ignored her stare.

Well, he had a good sleep but it looked uncomfortable and I can rest sometimes if I change it into a comfortable one, right?

"It's okay! No need to tell me but should I keep in mind to send everyone home on time and not stay back to do overtime?" I covered my face with the file while shouting.

"He is just my friend. And that... the previous one was uncomfortable. He is not going to come here every day." I pointed out removing the file from my face.

"Oh! I thought coming every day for a whole week means coming here every day in the future too." With that, she turned to leave while I shouted her name.

"Just my friend and you can meet him too. Don't assume it as something more otherwise I will feel uncomfortable with him." I stated and she didn't say anything to that.

I didn't plan that he will come here every day after that day. He doesn't stay long except for an hour to have dinner with me and just leave.

I can't stop him from coming here when I already promised him that he can come here anytime he wants to take a rest, right?

"I am just teasing you. I was not thinking of making you feel stress about it. But if you really like him then you can give this relationship a try, you guys are already meeting because of a marriage proposal, right? There will be no trouble with family accepting your relationship or anything." I shook my head hearing her words.

"We don't feel like that with each other. I will not feel like that for him." I stated and she slowly nodded smiling before walking out.

With a sigh, I ignored her words and just concentrated on my work. I am already kind of disturbed with his words from that day when he talked about our kiss and he brought it up a few more times as if it's nothing.

It was really nothing for me but hearing it like this is not a comfortable thing too. I was not lying when I said I don't like him in that way.

He is my friend and I want to help him no matter what it is but spending my life with him is a big no.

Wait! I forgot an important matter because of this discussion. I called her up and asked, "This weekend, ask everyone not to come for work."

"Why? Is there something wrong?" she asked in a worried tone.

"No! I have some work and I want everyone to take leave. You are also a part of that and rest for two days." I explained not in straight words as I know she will tease me again if I tell her the truth.

"Okay! Let me know if you want help with anything." I cut the call saying that I will ask her if I need anything.

I stared at the document where I noted down everything I need and crossed the detail making sure no one is present on that day and the next day.

I need to cross another main detail too and if it fails then all this is unnecessary. With that thought, I messaged him before going through other details.

This is kind of exciting as it's been a long since I planned anything and the last time I planned just turned into a disaster.

I shook my head to remove those thoughts from the past. It's okay! Everyone acts stupid at some point in their life and I just need to make sure to not act that way again.
