edit, "Nat, where are you?" Mr. Eugen asked with concern.
I completely forgot. I've been so focused on Spring lately that I haven't even taken a break. How could Mr. Eugen not have noticed that I've been gone for so long today?
When I saw Mr. Eugen's phone call, I felt nervous. Hearing his concern for me warmed my heart and made my nose feel a bit tingly. I even felt like crying a little.
With a hoarse voice, I said, "I'm at home." I quickly tried to calm myself down, afraid that he would hear something off. But even so, Mr. Eugen still sensed that something was wrong.
Worriedly, Mr. Eugen asked, "At home? Nat, is something wrong?"
Hearing his question, my heart started beating faster. I didn't want Mr. Eugen to know about what happened today.
I took a deep breath and nervously said, "Nothing's wrong, I just haven't had a proper shower in days and wanted to go home and take a bath."
