Rejection-2

　　Bash jaw clenches.

　　“Ms. Mallory, I apologize for the sudden interruption,” Edmund says politely.

　　“It’s alright, Edmund. Mr. Hughes, care to explain what are you doing here in my apartment? The last time we talked, I already have no business with you, your office, and your company,” I say as I cross my arms over my chest.

　　He looks taken aback.

　　“Oh! So, you are the Bash Bash!” Luke chirps.

　　I clear my throat. Seriously Luke?

　　“Trinity, I am here to apologize for my actions. I admit I judged you, and I shouldn’t have done that. You proved that you deserve to be part of the company, so who am I to judge you when I wasn’t there to see your work. My apology, Trinity,” he says with pride.

　　My jaw almost drops. Wow! Did he just apologize? What happened to the arrogant prick Bash I knew?

　　Luke is giggling with his hand on his mouth to suppress his voice.

　　“I would like to see you on Monday at your new office,” he adds with a tight smile.
