EVANGELINEAlex didn’t leave until much later, and by then, Bella was fast asleep on my couch.I dropped her off at work the next morning before heading to the research center. I’d be lying if I said I was eager to work. Ever since that meeting, I’d been getting the nastiest looks from my colleagues. I tried to ignore it because at the end of the day, the most important thing was the trial, but they were making it much harder then necessary.I found two of them hanging outside the office and immediately made my way over to them.“I’m heading in, are you coming in as well?”They pushed their conversation and stared at me intently.“What’s it to you?” One of them snapped. “You’re not our boss.”I sighed, taking on a softer tone. “I’m not trying to order you around. I just need help inside. I can’t work on it alone.”“Just because the boss gives you preferential treatment doesn’t mean that you get to boss us around,” the other one hissed.I knew nothing I said would change their minds.
