Nervous Manager
Liam, my manager, stood beside me, shuffling papers and looking like he’d rather be anywhere else. He kept sneaking glances at Lily, whose nervous energy filled the room.
“Is everything alright, Liam?” I asked, breaking the awkward tension. Startled, he replied, “Yes, just going over the reports.” I nodded, but couldn’t shake the feeling that he was aware of something more.
An explanation was needed, but I decided to let him off the hook for now.
