Marissa felt as if her hands were burning. She quickly stashed her phone in her purse trying to forget about the message.
It felt like Rafael had nothing on his hands and was very apt in his response. Going to the meeting room in a daze, she almost made up thousands of scenarios and text messages in her head.
No, Rafael. I wasn't missing you. :-)
Rafael. I'm busy. Will talk to you later.
Hey, Rafael. How are Valerie and Nina? Say hi from my side.
"Marissa," Delinda spoke in a hushed tone, "You have again that dreamy look on your face. Wipe it off and focus!"
Marissa cleared her throat and got seated. There was a low chatter in the room until the doors opened, and Joseph came inside followed by Dean.
They began to stand as a sign of respect, but he raised his hand, gesturing to them to remain seated.
"How is everyone?" he asked formally and started studying the file placed before him.
