Chapter 8

I and Jason woke up late the next  morning and even though we later slept together in the same room last night, something wasn't right this morning. There was something like an invisible wall between us and we treated ourselves like strangers.

Jason opened the car door for me as usual but there was nothing like the usual smooching and teasing.

I sat down like a robot and picked up my phone which I had forgotten inside the car yesternoon

There were several calls and messages on it, most of it from Cynthia. And when I went through Cynthia messages, all of them meant the same thing 'I didn't do it".

I put down my phone as Jason started the car and headed to the office.

Later in the day, someone walked into my office and I looked up from the file that I was going through, it was Cynthia. Her eyes were red and she didn't use her usual makeover

"Lexi" she called slowly as she stood in front of my table

"You can see that I'm busy"
