Navigating the Thin Line
Ella's POV:
The first few days in the office felt like navigating a minefield of unspoken tension. Every interaction with Arec was fraught with an awkwardness that neither of us was willing to address directly.
The agreement we had made, keeping our encounter a secret and maintaining a strictly professional relationship , seemed to hang over us like a heavy curtain, casting shadows on every exchange.
The second day , of working in Denco Groups, was a challenge.
I reminded myself to keep my head high and focus on the tasks at hand, i had to keep things professional.
Arec was already at his desk, when I walked in, flipping through a stack of documents.
His attention was entirely absorbed by his work, and for a moment, I was grateful for the distraction of my own tasks.
