Trying to act normal
I did my best to act naturally despite the gnawing worry. When Mr. Carlson and the HR director glanced my way, I quickly averted my eyes, uncomfortable under their joint gaze.
Determined not to let them suspect anything, I joined my team at the lunch table, plastering a smile on my face.
We chatted about upcoming projects, but my mind kept drifting back to Emmett and the troubling message from earlier.
