The week in the office went by really smoothly. No one troubled me and no more whispered again, but people avoided my gaze. I think the only person who I talk to is Aiden who is the most relaxed person ever. Aiden spoke about his girlfriend who was studying medical and how hard working she is, that for the first time I saw Aiden differently. He is a proud man when it comes to talking about his girlfriend, but not about himself. He goes on and on about his girlfriend and how they are trying to work things out even with their busy schedule, that we didn't realize someone else joined us- of course, Grayson.

Aiden quickly shut his mouth and looked at Grayson nervously.

"Go on, just pretend I am not here." He shrugged.

"How can he pretend that?" I questioned Grayson.

"What were you guys talking about??" He asked.

I looked at Aiden because I didn't know if it was okay to revel anything.

"Just about my girlfriend." Aiden said shrugging.

Grayson nodded his head almost like an approval.

"I heard your internship is ending soon." Grayson looked at Aiden and I looked at Aiden with my eyes wide. He never told me about that.

Aiden scratched his head nervously and give me an apologetic smile.

"Well, I just want to let you know that we will be hiring you though." Grayson said as he stole my fries.

I squealed and Aiden's eyes widened in shock

"If you are continuing with study, you can work part time and if you are graduating you can work full time." Grayson said shrugging.

"This is so cool!" Aiden said and he looked like he is about to cry.

"Yea.." Grayson said looking at Aiden. "Well done, Congrats!" Grayson said as he basically picked my food and was eating it.

"I promise to work harder." Aiden said so happy about it.

Aiden felt awkward around Grayson because he stopped talking since Grayson joined. Grayson is just having casual conversation with us and I can feel the stares from people, but of course they looked away before I catch them.

"What other reasons you are here with us?" I asked Grayson raising my eye brow and looking at him suspiciously.

"I thought you are my only friend here, so I joined you." He pouted.

I laughed. "Don't lie." I said

"Seriously, I have no where to go and eating alone is boring." He said shrugging and I nodded my head in agreement. At times, it is okay, but a couple of times gets really upsetting.

"When is your school even starting?" I asked.

"Just in case you forgot... I am done with high school and will be joining university soon."

"Congrats!" I said excitedly. "Where are you planning to go??" I asked him.

"NYU." He said shrugging.

"That's where Mia is planning to apply too."

"I know." He said as he chewed the food.

"You do know that you can get your own food here." I said to him.

Grayson shrugged.

"Are you guys close to each other?" Aiden asked out of curiosity.

"Close enough, that's why she is letting me eat her food." Grayson said.

I rolled my eyes.

"You should be glad that I came to visit, if Oliver was here." Grayson said shaking his head and not completing his sentence

Aiden made an "Oo" sound and looked at me and I smiled shyly at him. I never spoke about Oliver to him ever.

"Everyone is really relax when you drop by." I said.

"Of course, because I am the cool one." Grayson said smugly and I laughed.

"We will keep that in mind." I said and laughed.

After our break was over, we walked back to our office rooms.Grayson decided to walk with me after Aiden left and said,

"How is everything going on so far?" He asked.

"Okay?" I said not really sure of what he is trying to say.

"I mean the work." He said looking ahead.

"Great?" I answered.

"Who is your friend apart from the intern?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes, "His name is Aiden." I said.

"You should be glad that I was on your side with being friends with him." He said hinting something.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Something have to do with your jealous boyfriend." He said smirking at me and I frowned.

"Are you talking about Oliver? Because if yes we are still not official." I said.

"Not yet, but soon right? The sooner the better." He shrugged and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Trust me... when you find out, you will be thanking me." He winked at me.

"What will I find out?" I asked frowning.

"How nice of a person I am." He said and I laughed.

"Well, I have to get back work." He said. "Oliver will be dropping by secretly later for some business. Most probably you will see him after work. That depends because he have work and may stay till late and you won't know when he is here."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"You should know about your boyfriend's whereabouts." He winked as he said his goodbye leaving me confused.
