“Umm…” I murmured as I wondered how I should best deal with their questions.

“You work as his personal secretary, so you must know something…” a team member asked with excitement in her widened eyes.

“Aww…that can’t be true…”

“Are you serious?”

“You work so closely with him and you two spend so much time together, how can you not know anything?”
