Lie To Me novel Chapter 42

Days passes to fast. I always meet Elijah around the office. Apparently, he's a hands-on boss. He visits each offices just to check his employees. A big check for all of us.

Mikael was like that. He was friendly to all of his employees and we are glad that Elijah's like him. At least, it won't be hard for us to work with him.

I smiled at Elijah upon seeing him in the elevator. "Good morning, Sir." I greeted.

He smiled and greeted me as well. "Good morning, Ma'am." He said.

It was unusual to be called ma'am with your boss but I don't want to make it a big deal so I just ignored it.

Maybe, he is still not used with his current position. After all, it wasn't easy to adjust.

"Max is asking for you. She told me to say hi to you on her behalf," he said after.

"Uhm... I'm good. Inabala ka pa n'ya. She could text me naman," I said.

Elijah smiled, showing his dimples. "Actually, she gave me your number long ago and I just learned last night that it was yours. I didn't know that it was you they were trying to set a blind date with me," he said shyly.

That made me awkward. So, I just smiled and shook my head.

"Just don't mind them. They're just paranoid about me being single the rest of my life," I said.

He looked at me witn squinting eyes. "Parang hindi naman. Surely, you got a long line of suitors," he said.

"What?" I said. "No. I don't have. I'm not even interested," I said.

He nodded. "I see. I guess, that's the reason why you didn't reply to me?" He said.
