CAN I TRUST HIM?

confessions

"Honestly I never thought that I would do something like that. Ever." me and sam were in the cafeteria for lunch. my stunt was all over the office. everyone wanted this deal to be done and it almost slipped out of our hand like sand but then I saved it. I was grinning from ear to ear. I was really happy and everyone came to me and asked if it was true and I happily said yes. I was so happy.

"k you were awesome! I am so happy for you." she slipped her hands through my neck and said "I am so proud of " and she said it with so much sincerity in her voice that I almost cried. my dad would've been happy too. suddenly everyone started whispering and looked at the door. Rainer and mister Scott were laughing and coming to the cafeteria. Mr. Scott started coming towards us. Sam let out a squeak and I was normal but my eyes never left Rainer's eyes. when they came to our table I finally looked away and then smiled at Mr. Scott.

"Hello, Bennett. Samantha." Mr. Scott addressed us and Rainer just stood there with a smug expression as always.

"Hello, Mr. Scott! hello Mr. Devon! I am Samantha." she introduced yourself a bit too enthusiastically. I mentally rolled my eyes. ( yeah I know I do a lot of things mentally)

"good afternoon Mr. Scott. do you need anything?" I intentionally didn't address Mr devil. yeah, I came up with that. bu unfortunately his smirk grew and he raised one of his eyebrows.

" oh, no dear I didn't need anything. I was just giving Mr. Devon a tour of our office. he was supposed to leave just after the meeting but he agreed to stay and see this office and to know the people hell be working with. so nice of him! I just came here to ask for another favor. I have to go for another sudden meeting with the founder and I can't give him a tour. can you? and also if you could show the people who'd be working with as well?" he saw the look on my face and immediately added-" its okay if you want to refuse. I know this isn't exactly your job description. I just thought it'd be a great help to me and since you always do al the work for me without any protests I thought maybe-"

I interrupted him and said-"no no no it's fine! you know how much I like doing extra work." I mentally patted on my back at how smoothly I could lie. I know it's not something one should be proud about but I just... forget it. he let out a sigh of relief, smiled and exited the cafeteria. Samantha left as well saying she needs to submit a project.

"so um what would you like to see next?" I asked him breaking the awkward silence.

"I don't know, remember?"

"of course" I gave him a tight smile and started walking towards the library and research room. "it had all sorts of books and it had computers for us to research anything we wanted. those computers also had details about the people who worked here and about the deals and everything. though not everyone had access to all those files surely we can do anything on these computers. its also my favorite place cause I love reading and-" but I stopped abruptly cause I realized I was blabbering and turned around to see him with an expression I couldn't quite catch. he looked at me like he wanted to know me. like ... I don't know? I frowned and asked- " did you gave me a nod when you disagreed with kai? did you deliberately disagreed with Kai so that I could speak?"

"yeah... I did." I was shocked.

"why?" I almost whispered but I knew he could hear me.

he sighed and then said-"honestly I knew you didn't know anything bout the meeting. I overheard a conversation with you and Mr. Scott in which he was referring to that you didn't know anything about the meeting. when I heard this I made p a plan in which I would disagree with whoever spoke and then ill tell everyone that I want you to speak, only you. I thought you wouldn't know anything about this meeting. this would've humiliated you as you humiliated me twice."

"Why didn't you go through with your plan? what made you stop into taking revenge from me?" I snorted and looked away.

"When I looked at you I just couldn't do it but gave you a slight nod cause I thought you knew everything about the meeting, I realized you weren't a person who'd come to a meeting unprepared. I don't know how I realized that but I just did." he shrugged and started looking through the books. he spoke again with a very soft voice, "why did you assume those things? you didn't even know me."

"I am sorry I did. I shouldn't have. it's just that I have nature where I can't sit back and listen to some horrible things about me. I've been taught to stand up for myself. it's just who I am. but don't tell me they weren't true."

"yeah actually they were and that's the worst thing." he gave a nervous chuckle and I did too. I was smiling with him which was confusing and unbelievable. he continued-"I am sorry for the things I said to you too. I shouldn't have." he sounded genuine so I gave him a nod, smiled, and said-" truce?" and gave my hand. he took it and said truce. we smiled and started walking.
