Handover

Patricia's POV

Upon arriving at my office, I saw that I got company. Liam was sitting down comfortably behind my desk, staring at the wall. It was clear that he was probably waiting for me.

I walked in immediately and his hands that were locked together relaxed as he raised his head up to face me.

"You're here early. I'm assuming you have somewhere else to go? Or you're going to be a good staff member from today?" He sounded rather hopeful, like he couldn't say anything to me because he pitied me.

I gave him a thoughtful look as my lips curled downwards into a frown. I looked so guilty. If I had probably come earlier, he would've still caught me anyway. I just wanted to get a couple of things done, mark my attendance and sneak out. Too bad.

"Look, I'm sorry," I started out.
