Two days later, I had no choice but to return to work.
During those few days at the office, I deliberately avoided Randy. Of course, Randy noticed.
He pulled his ultimate move and summoned me to his office.
"Mr. Lane, you wanted to see me?"
I kept my head down, not daring to look at him.
Randy slowly walked toward me and lowered his head.
"Are you avoiding me?"
Faced with his sudden approach, I turned my head away and stepped back little by little.
"N-No, I'm not..."
He pointed at the five bills on the desk.
"What does this mean?"
What did it mean? Didn't he know? We were both adults. There was no need to spell everything out.
Randy backed me into a corner and pressed both hands against the wall beside me, trapping me in a classic move.
Damn. How did I let him pull that off?
