"Liability"
I hurry out of Max's office with a quick pace, the sound of my shoes hitting the ground echoing through the room louder than before as they come down harshly and with more impact. Everything inside of me is screaming. I cant believe he is treating me like this over some petty argument.
I thought he was my friend...
I wrap my hand around the door's handle, pulling it open with a great might opening myself up to the outside world. Making my way out i can hear the heavy sounds of footsteps coming from behind me, the sound pulling me back to turn and face the person who was following me.
"What!" I shout out in frustration thinking it was Max, but im surprised to see Taehyung standing in front of me. I push loose strands of hair from my face and behind my ear as i look up at him feeling a bit guilty for shouting at him.
"Im sorry." I admit lightly, looking up at him as if asking for forgiveness due to my rudeness but he continues on as if nothing happened.
"Do you need a ride home Shailene?" He questions with the use of my real name. I look around knowing it would be a while to walk but even so i shake my head no. I don't really know Taehyung that well and the thought of getting into a car with him doesn't really make me feel comfortable.
This job has made me very cautious of such situations.
"What is it going to hurt Shailene? You're upset and i have a car. Let me take you home." he offers once again with more sincerity this time.
Once again i look around, avoiding eye contact.
"I can just call a cab, it will be fine." I reply after a while of thinking, deciding to turn him down once again.
A sigh slips from his lips. "Why must you be so stubborn?"
I finally lift my eye to him. "You could be some sort of psychopath." i joke.
Finally, he cracks a small smile. 'Yeah... but nowadays everyone is. You're going to trust some stranger driving a cab more than me?"
I shrug my shoulders. "I dont know Taehyung.. You seem a little shifty."
He laughs while nodding his head. "Yeah, you know now that i think about it i probably wouldn't trust myself either. So you go and have fun having to pay to sit in the back seat of some smelly car." he adds with a cheeky grin before turning away from me, walking down the sidewalk in the opposite direction.
