“That’s not it!” I replied quickly.
“You keep saying you’re too busy,” Soren grumbled. “I was worried you’d decided to retreat back into your shell again.”

“No, I really am busy these days. I thought I told you that,” said, feeling a twinge of guilt.
“You still need to eat. How about no overtime tonight and dinner with me instead?”
I felt a bit cornered. I hadn’t finished as much work as I’d planned.

Soren reached out his hand as I passed. Timidly, I muttered, “Maybe not while I’m at work?”
He silently took my hand and led me out of my office.
Just as we passed Jamie’s door, it opened. He looked just as surprised to see us.
“Good evening, Mr. Young. You’ve been working hard, huh?” I greeted him automatically.
“Yeah.” He smiled. “Had something I needed to finish today. Figured I’d wait until traffic died down.”

“Good evening, Mr. Kenway,” he said, offering his hand.
“Likewise,” Soren replied, shaking his hand with the same one that had just held mine.
Then, to my surprise, Jamie said, “Congratulations, Mr. Kenway, on your new relationship.”
I froze, staring at him in confusion.

Soren, ever the gentleman, smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Young And thank you for taking care of Taylor when she was injured.”
“Oh, it was nothing. Miss Jones has been so good to me at the company. She motivates me to do even more for the team.”
