He didn’t want to lie to anyone, but he had no clue how to tell the truth. He pretended to be incredibly busy every time his co-workers attempted to question him, putting off the inevitable. But he knew it was just a temporary respite. He had never been happier to hear Jordan’s voice. “Why are you not working?”Įveryone quickly returned to their desks, and Nate breathed out. “What’s going on here?” Jordan’s sharp voice said from behind. He still didn’t want to hide, but… away from Raffaele, it was so much harder not to give a damn about his co-workers’ opinions.įuck, how was he even supposed to reveal that? Surprise, it’s me? Despite his words to Raffaele last night, he couldn’t just say it. Nate fidgeted under the scrutiny of twenty pairs of eyes, feeling painfully awkward and unsure. Surely you have some idea who she might be?” “You both are exceptions to the rule,” Camilla said before peering at Nate. So what if he’s an asshole? All men are some are just better at pretending that they aren’t.” “I wish I were that unlucky,” Camilla said, rolling her eyes. Someone in the crowd snorted and said, “You mean the unlucky woman?” “Do you have any idea who the lucky woman is?” Camilla said. Nate hadn’t seen him ever since Raffaele kissed him goodbye very early in the morning and then left before Nate even properly woke up. At his own insistence, they’d arrived at work separately. Raffaele wasn’t one to hesitate or change his mind once he chose a course of action.įuck, Nate missed him already. But then again, he wasn’t sure why it surprised him. Although Raffaele had said he would do it, he hadn’t expected that he’d bother doing it so soon. Nate tried not to show any outward reaction. “The boss changed his relationship status on Facebook!” Alex said. “What’s up?” he said, looking in bemusement at all the people gathered around Alex’s computer. When Nate walked into the office the next morning, no one seemed to be working. There was no more talking for the rest of the night. “Was it?” Raffaele said mildly, his lips curling into that infuriating little smirk that Nate absolutely had to wipe away with his mouth. The devilish glint in Raffaele’s eyes made Nate’s grin fade.
