I couldn’t bring myself to respond to Damien.
What will i even say to him…I'm just an intern having fantasies.
The weekend went by and it was Monday. The birds chiming as usual.
A quick reminder of what Richard D Morgan my new supervisor said to me.
“I’ll be assigning you to a new project,” he said suddenly.
My stomach flipped. “Wait, what, why?”
“Because you impressed me. And because I need someone I can trust. Cassandra tells me you’re diligent, careful, and not easily intimidated.”
Cassandra talks about me?
“What’s the project?” I asked cautiously.
His eyes met mine, steady and unreadable. “You’ll be working with me. Directly.”
I nearly choked on a cherry tomato. “With…you? Like, shadowing you?”
“Not shadowing. Collaborating,” he corrected. “Yes, that’s the word.”
