Absentminded
Tardy and a bit of shape, Sofia noticed that Marcus was looking lost and disturbed even though he was trying to respond professionally while speaking about the project. Thinking to herself that if she could get him to open up to her, their relationship may gradually become closer and move stepwisely towards the desired intimacy she had in mind.
"You don't seem too good today, why not talk over a relaxing atmosphere tonight, all bills on me and the project can hold on a bit. After All, we do not need to make any changes to it at the moment, it's just having updates about how the project is moving. Don't tell me no, at least if you consider me a friend," she said persuadingly as she expressed a look of heartache over his appearance and wellbeing.
Marcus couldn't help give a heavy sigh as he agreed since he did need some time to clear his head and some shots in the evening did sound like a good idea at this point.
