Scandalous

For the next few days, Cheng Yu avoided Cedric like the plague. It was nothing out of the ordinary since she had always avoided him anyway… aside from the fact that he was avoiding her as well. If she went right, he would go left even if that was not where he was intending to go. 

If she entered the room he was in, he would make a random excuse and leave. The only exception was the conference rooms whenever all the authors had a meeting with her and Luna. He couldn't walk away, but he would avoid her gaze as though repulsed by her. 

On Thursday, in her office, Cheng Yu let out a sigh. This was the outcome she had wanted. Why, then, did she feel so hurt about it? 

"I knew you had something bothering you." Luna spoke, jolting her from her deep thoughts. She didn't know when the latter had walked in. 

"Luna, you should have called me over. Why did you have to come all the way?" She immediately stood up and helped Luna onto a chair, leaving her speechless.
