María
*“Miss, please come to my office.”*
I lift the phone and hear my boss requesting my presence. I notice Molly watching me but she says nothing, just lowers her gaze. Since the day we went out, she hasn’t stopped trying to be near him.
“Go on, or he’ll be in a bad mood for the rest of the day,” my colleague signals for me to go immediately. Albert is strict, and when things aren’t done as he says, someone gets reprimanded.
I nod at her words and hurry into the office. He’s reviewing some papers, pretending not to notice me.
“Please, sit down, María. I need you to accompany me to a dinner the day after tomorrow. Will you have any issues with your husband?” My eyes widen in surprise. I don’t know what to say. This week, Liam has been on night shifts, so I haven’t seen much of him.
