I looked away, wondering if it was just my imagination or if he was hiding something from me.
He used to cuddle with me before going to work, but now he didn't even give me a glance.
After Declan left, I followed him to the company.
The people in the company all knew me, and there was no obstruction or notification.
So I saw Declan just arrive at the office door.
Jacqueline skipped happily over to him with the documents in her arms.
"Mr. Garcia, you are ten minutes later today than yesterday. You should be fined."
Unexpectedly, Declan didn't get angry, but instead affectionately flicked Jacqueline's nose.
"I am the boss. Who dares to fine me?"
Jacqueline pouted, "Oh, I am the boss."
"Haven't you heard that rules and laws apply to everyone? Pay the fine now!"
Jacqueline coquettishly stretched out her hand to Declan, her eyes shining brightly at him.
No one would have the heart to refuse her.
It reminded me of the year when Declan and I were sophomores. We had a date and he was a little late because of an experiment.
I knew he was busy with his studies and I understood him.
I couldn't help but jokingly ask him for compensation for my mental distress.
