Sophie kept her eyes on her phone screen as she worked, staring endlessly at Michael’s message. She kept contemplating whether or not she should reply to it.
She looked at the time and saw it was almost time for lunch. ‘Let’s do this.’ She thought as she picked up her phone and clicked on his message.
“Okay.” She sent the text and quickly kept her phone aside. She didn’t wait to check if the text delivered or if he read it.
“Are you alright?” Her colleague, whose desk wasn’t so far from her asked, stretching her head to the side so she could look at her.
Sophie answered with a grin, “Yeah, why?”
“I have been noticing your mood since morning. You are extremely quiet today and that is so not like you.” Her colleague responded, still staring at her.
“Thank you, Anne. I am fine… just a little under the weather.” Sophie assured her, keeping her smile wide and generous.
Anne nodded, “Take care of yourself before the boss comes to frustrate you even more.” she looked away.
