The Last Laugh

Chapter 28 - A Laugh

***

Days flew by. I did my best to be discrete with Christina and Sawyer. Both had clearly fallen for me but I confused them a little. They thought I was attracted to them but whenever they made attempts to get close to me physically, I would always find a way to stop them. With time, I began to realise that at a point they would suspect me of something because how could I woo them, yet avoid them. I had to be careful.

The flying days soon changed to weeks.

I entered the elevator while at work one day. I was on my way to the last floor to get some files from Aiden.

There were about five other people people with me. The elevator was a little congested and so I went to its end to lean against its wall.

There was silence as we all patiently waited.

The elevator stopped at some point to get other people. I hoped some people that were already in the elevator would leave.

To my surprise, when the door opened, no one left the elevator but three more entered, Heather was amongst them. I felt my heart skip a beat. I'd totally forgotten she was to return to work that particular day.

She was the first to enter and made her way through the people to find a spot where she could stand. She ended up standing right in front of me. She hadn't noticed me.

The two other people entered. Now the elevator was fully congested or tight. No one could really move freely.

The two extra people who'd entered had stood in front of Heather, causing her to step back.

I could clearly feel her behind rub against me. I knew she knew but she had no choice. Not to get make uncomfortable, I acted like everything was okay and even greeted her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Heather." I said in a low voice, not to get anyone's attention.
