“You seem a little distracted today, is everything okay?” Mark asked Julia a few hours after she got into the office.

“What? Oh, don’t worry about me, I’m fine.” She formed her fingers to an ok sign but judging from the dead look in her eyes, she was definitely not fine.

“You shouldn’t lie. Now, do you want to tell me what happened so we can get your focus back to work after this?” He asked again.

“Okay, fine. Since my grand-father trust you, I am going to trust you as well.” She straightened her back and started talking.

“I just rejected someone’s marriage proposal and I feel awful now.” She admitted.

“Why do you feel awful? He made the decision to propose to you, he already knew there is a possibility of rejection and you have the right to reject him. You have zero obligation to accept his proposal if you don’t like him. It’s simple as that.” He replied casually.
