Chapter 30 DINNER

NAYA’S P O V

‘‘It’s lunch time!’’ Selena announced, pressing her palm on my desk. ‘‘Have a break, Naya. It’s only your first day, but you’ve been working so hard. Your face is going to be permanently like that…’’ she laughed, pointing out the frown on my face.

‘‘I’m just… thinking about something,’’ I mumbled and started massaging my temples. She leaned into me, peering into my face, which made me feel uneasy.

‘‘Problem on your first day here?’’ she teased, ruffling my hair playfully. ‘‘Don’t think too much about him. He loves you, don’t worry…’’

I rolled my eyes at her, and she laughed, pulling me up from my seat.

‘‘You’re just hungry. Let’s eat…’’ she dragged me towards the elevator and made our way down to the cafeteria.

‘‘Do you think… it’s allowed to ask for an advance salary?’’ I posed the question to Selena, making sure that no one could hear me, as soon as we sat down at one of the tables in the huge cafeteria.
