I'm at my desk working or trying to work because my mind is still processing the fact that Adrian is now my boss.
After he left the room, I had to gather all my courage and get back to work—deciding that I should be professional.
I'm not gonna tell him about what happened between us, that would only complicate things.
Besides, for what it seems it's like he doesn't remember me. Despite that we have run into each other a few times before, Adrian doesn't seem to recognize me, at all
I'm completely a stranger to him.
And that's how it's going to be, I think it's better that way.
Two hours later I manage to focus in work when someone calls my name.
I avert my eyes from the computer to see Iris walking to me.
Iris is among my colleague, She's a fresh graduate and she was lucky enough to secure a job here at Dreamland.
"Skylar" She calls, sitting on a swirling chair next to mine.
"Mhm" I give her my full attention.
"Girl what happened earlier?" She asks with her thick accent, she's from Barbados.
"What about earlier?"
She rolls her eyes. "In the conference room, quit playing dumb"
"Oh.."
"Yeah"
"I was just..." I trail off, staring absentmindedly at the computer. What should I tell her?
"Spill it, I know it has something to do with the new boss" She says and my head snap to her.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
I've never told Iris about what happened to me back then. She knows about Ethan as she has seen him several times, but I've never open my mouth to tell her what exactly Adrian did to me.
The only person that knows about my situation is Clara
"Skylar it's obvious you freaked out because the boss is freaking good-looking" She says and burst out laughing and I release a shaky breath.
I forgot that she has no filter
Iris would say whatever that pops up her mind and she's not a type of person that keeps her opinions to herself.
She is actually confident and outgoing. I think she was either born like that or maybe because she's still young. She's only 21
Either way I'm glad that she didn't figure out anything about me and Adrian because I don't think if am ready to tell her the truth.
"I don't blame you though" She says through her laughter, not caring that our other colleagues are staring at us.
