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."
