CHAPTER 14 I Want You To Go All Out

  Elsie's POV

  "So um Thank you for the meal."

  The atmosphere was so thick and charged with energy, it was electrifying and I just had to change whatever it was.

  Sensing the tension that was building between us, he pushed back and settled into the seat. Smart move.

  "You are welcome."

  I stood up, putting aside what we just finished eating, and I moved to dispose of the containers. He was still watching me closely, maybe I was overthinking things, it could be that all this didn't mean anything to him.

  Walking back to my table, I sat down and fiddled with the papers, the documents I cleared earlier in the day.

  "I see Larson already has you occupied."

  I was glad for the change in topic, I didn't think I had it in me to say anything to fill the silent office. He seemed to have grasped that I wasn't all that comfortable.

  "Yes he has, I'm actually grateful, this way I will be busy, you know busy is good."

  "I agree but not all the time."
