I'm the only one that can see him?!

Lucky for me, the ride is short. We arrive at the publishing office in record time.

Lyndsay:"almost... There!"

I rush through the doors,hurrying to my edge of the office.

(made it!phew.)

I stop to catch my breath. Everything seems Okay. Maybe jazxy won't notice.

Jazxy:"you're late."

(well, so much for that.)

Lyndsay:"jazxy! I'm sorry I'm late. It was just-"

I nervously Glace to vvyon, who shurgs. With a sigh, I try to come up with an explanation.

Lyndsay:"I met an old friend again"

I want to explain but he interupts me.

Jazxy:"no excuses, Lyndsay. This is your job. We need to get started right away."

Jazxy gets to the point. I feel pretty embarrassed. But I nod.vvyon tugs at my sleeves from behind,whispering into my ears.

Vvyon:"Lyndsay... I thinks there's a problem."

His voice seems to tremble,so I lower my tone.

Lyndsay:"what? What is it?"

Vvyon:"I don't think... Anyone here can see me."

Jazxy:"what are you looking at, Lyndsay? Come over to the computer."

Vvyon:"see? He's staring right through me and he doesn't even know it."

Jazxy completely ignore vvyon and lead me to the desk. What happening to vvyon? Why doesn't anyone else notice him?

Vvyon:"looks like this guy doesn't notice a thing."

Vvyon wave a frantic hand infro of jazxy's face.

Vvyon:"hello! Anyone home?"

Lyndsay:"vvyon stop!"

Jazxy:"what was that?"

Lyndsay:"n-nothing!"

I can feel my face flush as I lower my voice. I try to focus on jazxy, who takes out a pack of papers and points to the computer screen. Of course, it's hard to pay attention when vvyon is dancing around the room.

Vvyon:"yup. Looks like no one can see me. Great."

I have to stifle a laugh. It's quite a sight...

Jazxy:"Lyndsay. Are you paying attention?"

I take a deep breath and nood eagerly. I can't afford to lose credibility in the workplace.

Lyndsay:"I am, so what are we doing today?"

Jazxy:"well, if you were listening, you'd know that I wanted to introduce our next project. It's a romance story,aimed at young women. Kind of typical one for the genre."

He slide a stack of papers towards me,pointing at the title on the front page.

Lyndsay:"blossoms of may...? That's, uh, flowery?"

Jazxy:"we work on what we get. Now take a look at it while I go pick up some copies."

Jazxy open up the manuscript to the front page and gets up to leave. As soon as he's gone, I turn back to vvyon, who is floating around behind me.

Lyndsay:"so I'm the only one who can see you?"

Vvyon:"well, I guess so... No one else is reacting on me."

Vvyon crosses his arms and shuffles his feet.

Lyndsay:"wait. You didn't know already?"

Vvyon:"this is all pretty new to me."

Lyndsay:"well, what you're doing earlier? What's the first thing you remember?"

Vvyon takes a moment to consider and shurgs.

Vvyon:"I woke up in your room this morning, and you were the first thing I saw."

Lyndsay:"wait, shhh! That sounds weird!"

Vvyon:"like I told you, no one can hear me!"

Lyndsay:"I know, but I can't help feeling like it's weird!"

Jazxy:"I'm, Lyndsay? Who are you talking to? '

I jerk my head up to find jazxy eyeing me suspiciously.
