MAYA As much as my body tried to lean against my boss, the gentle whistle from the pan distorted us. He cleared his throat and then we both took a step backwards. The atmosphere that was once beautiful was now filled with awkwardness. And now that I was thinking clearly, I cursed myself. How could I be so foolish! But at the same time, I still didn't regret it. If not for the chicken, I wondered if something would have happened. I stole a glance at his lips and he caught me. Apparently, we were both watching each other. "I'm sorry I took too long, Miss Maya." Lila said as she sauntered into the kitchen. "Mr. Desmond, welcome back." She commented as she approached us with a tiny smile. "Would you like anything Sir?" She asked but he glanced at me briefly before wriggling his head.
