She paced around the room ready to tell him when he would enter the room. She was going to tell him in the nicest way possible and reject his request to travel but she would be sure to wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.

 

The door opened with someone getting in as she instantly said it without turning to face the person.

 

"I'm not going," she blurted. She did not hear any response and she turned to know why he was not responding only to find Tim.

 

"Okay?" he said with a little chuckle. "Am I supposed to say something after that?"

 

She sighed. "It wasn't meant for you."

"Is it meant for… the boss?" Tim was beginning to catch on real quick.

 

"Yeah."
