Chad did not overreact like I had expected. I thought he was going to go over the board and drag Cornelius for his obliviousness but rather, he pulled me by the waist and drew me closer to him. I was startled but I chose to play along. I almost rolled my eyes at this dramatic man when he went as far as add, “Come on Nikki, let us go home now.”

I had no chance to say my goodbye to Cornelius but I had to wonder how someone could be so oblivious to call a man with such an extravagant appearance, a driver.

As I slipped the seatbelt around me, I had to ask Chad who was focused on pulling us out of there. “Why did you come to my place of work?” I was definitely not expecting his presence.

“Who was that man?” He asked with an ugly frown on his face, deviating the subject of discussion.
