Acting Up

"So, how was work today?" Tom asked Lucy as he drove them home later that evening. 

"It was okay," Lucy said with a shrug as she looked outside the car's window. 

"Did you eventually meet the CEO today?" Tom asked, turning to spare her a glance, but her face was turned away from him, so he couldn't see it. 

She had been so eager to talk to him about what she thought of the CEO earlier, but right now she didn't see any reason to do that, "Yes, I did."

"And what do you think about him now that you have met him?" Tom asked curiously.

"I don't think anything," Lucy said dourly. 

"Nothing at all?" Tom asked, sounding slightly surprised.

"Yeah."

"Are you okay?" Tom asked in a concerned tone, wondering why it seemed like he was forcing herself to talk to him. Did he do something wrong? Was she angry with him? Could it possibly be because he had failed to show up for lunch as they agreed?
