"fiancée" I read the name on the screen. I'm hurt feels as if it's bleeding. Of course he is married or soon to be married what was i thinking? I feel ashamed of myself for having malicious thoughts about a married man. How would I have known? I just met him. So he didn't lie to me.

I can't believe how foolish I was. I mistook his friendly gestures for romantic signals. He probably talks to everyone with a charming voice. He is in the entertainment industry so he must be skilled at flattering people.I feel so lost and confused. I misinterpreted his kind words for romantic interest. He probably chats with everyone with a sweet tongue. He is in the entertainment business so he must be good at sweet talking. What should I do now? I should avoid him.

I had no trouble dodging him for the whole week. Whenever I saw him going to the meeting room, I would sneak away and hide. Sometimes I had to stay late for rehearsals, but I didn't mind. I would just chill until his car was gone from the parking lot, then catch the last bus home.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted him in the crowd on Friday. I thought I was hallucinating, but the backstage crew confirmed it was really him. And he was looking for me. He told them he had to see me on Saturday, no matter what. Why would he show up? What did he want from me?

But he is my boss and I guess I'm just bitter about the whole fiancée thing. This day had a bittersweet taste for me. I wondered why the days that we dread always seem to fly by. I had achieved a great success with my performance and the positive feedback I received on social media. But I also had to face Mr. Purk and listen to his opinion. I hoped he would focus on the show and not on anything else.

I'm just being silly. Why would he explain his relationship with his fiancée to me? An employee. A lowly employee who just got here?  I'm just being silly, right? Right?

I was so absorbed in the drama that was playing out in my mind that I didn't realize I had arrived at the company building. "Good morning, superstar nunew," the front desk lady greeted me with a cheeky smile. That made me feel a little better. I waved at her and blew her a kiss. I stepped into the elevator and the weird feeling in my stomach came back. Here goes nothing.
