Strained Relationship

I pulled my hand away before Mark would notice that something was amiss. To my utter shock, EROS grabbed my hand and held it tightly in his. This is even worst than before. If I pulled my hand back, Mark would probably realize. With a silent sigh to myself, I stood still while I let EROS entwine his fingers with mine until we reached our designated floor.

“Ok, I’m off. Elena, make sure that EROS goes see the CEO and that he doesn’t run away, ok? After that, we can all head home for the day. Finally!” Mark said enthusiastically while I wondered where he got his energy from after such a long day.

Just like that I found myself standing alone with EROS in the hallway. EROS immediately turned on his heels and started walking away and I had a feeling that he wasn’t walking to the CEO’s office.

“Wait. Where do you think you’re going?” I asked as I reached out and grabbed his arm tightly to prevent his escape.

“I have something that I need to do…” he muttered while avoiding my gaze.
