But Filter Some

I gave a sigh of relief when the meeting came to an end. I didn't even understand why they had to keep it that long. I mean how can I always attend a meeting that would last forty minutes or more? I asked myself.

I almost fell asleep on countless occasions during the meeting as I couldn't understand much of the things they talked about and am sure most of them saw how I behaved like a fish out of water and that mostly too came from the weird stares they were giving me. I am very sure that Seth also noticed what was going on as he gave me gentle pats on my hands under the table while staying cool.

" Let's go back to my office," Seth said with a smile breaking my thoughts.

I stood up while looking at his tired face which he was still smiling to mask it and also smiled back as I followed him back to his office.

Just when he was all free, I heard him talking to people on the laptop which I assumed he was having a zoom call. I raised my head to look at him and I suddenly felt bad.
