“The boss said you should go back. He is busy and can’t entertain any guests.” The secretary, who had entered his office to announce my arrival, came back with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Seeing that look on her face, I knew Malrick wasn’t busy, he just didn’t want to see me.
I pressed my lips together, but I didn’t plan on leaving without seeing him.
I forced a smile and said, “Okay, I will wait for him.”
She stared at me for a second before clearing her throat, “You… He might take a while.”
“It doesn’t matter how long he takes, I will wait.”
It’s okay. I have made him wait long enough, I will be the one waiting this time.
The secretary left a second after, and as she went back to her seat, I saw her furiously typing on her phone and could almost guess what she’s doing.
