Working Together (2)
Claire, meanwhile, was already at her desk, trying to immerse herself in work but finding it difficult to focus.
The previous night's conversation with Joshua played on a loop in her thoughts.
She needed space, but the thought of them moving further apart made her chest ache.
Yet, when Joshua walked past her without the usual tension in his stride, a strange pang of annoyance shot through her.
What is he so happy about? Claire thought, watching him out of the corner of her eye.
For weeks, he had been a ball of stress and anger, but today, there was a lightness in his step. She couldn't help but wonder what had changed.
As the morning continued, Claire's curiosity gnawed at her. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was going on.
When she saw Joshua in the conference room, laughing with some of the top executives, it only fueled her suspicions.
