„Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more."

After I signed up my contract with Techeetah I had to return back to the Williams HQ. Techeetah wanted to announce their new member on social media but I told them to wait a little longer. I want to let my co-workers know that I'm leaving. I want them to hear it from me and not find it on Instagram. It wouldn't be fair. But before that, I need to tell Lance. I already feel bad for lying to him and not telling him straight away, he should have been the first one. I was looking for him everywhere but couldn't find him. Then I finally saw him entering the HQ so I walked to him at a fast pace.

„Hi, Lance, can I talk with you for a minute?" I asked with the kind smile when I caught up with him. He looked at me with a cold expression on his face.

„Don't waste your breath, I know everything," he simply answered and before I could somehow react, he was already gone. I was standing in the middle of the hall, my mouth opening and closing like I was a fish. He knows? How? Fucking hell!

„There you are! People are waiting," Betty patted my back but she stopped talking when she noticed my glare, „something happened?" she asked carefully.

„Yes. Lance knows about Techeetah. I have no idea how he could found out. Unless," and at that moment it hit me, „someone told him," I looked at Betty with raised eyebrows.

„Look, I'm sorry but he was knocking on your door like an idiot, I had to tell him you're not there. And besides, I thought you already told him."

„I was planning to! But every time I wanted, something got into it...and now he hates me because I promised to tell him everything and I failed. For fuck's sake," I groaned in frustration and leaned against the wall.

„What should I say? It's your fault that you are so tightlipped."

„I know that. I...I'll find him later and see if I can solve it."

„Oh come on, he's head over heels for you, I'm sure you'll sort it out. He can't be mad at you for too long."
