Chapter 35: Opportunity
The only attention Fil had in the past several years was when someone needed her help. Hence, this level of attention she was getting from the office was almost uncomfortable. Even while working, she could feel a pair of eyes or two looking in her direction.
'Not my problem. It's not something I should fix,' Fil told herself for the umpteenth time, holding herself back from doing anything other than putting back Elise to her track.
"Alright!" Fil pushed herself away from the desk.
Elise flinched, watching Fil face her. "I'm not looking," she defended immediately. "I swear! I was just peeking."
"Heh. I'm going to the boss's office," Fil chuckled as she rose from her seat. "Send me the report about the last week's design. I'll skim through it before we send it to the boss."
"Yes..." Elise watched Fil saunter to the boss's office, sighing. "She's not even showing too much skin, but I can't take my eyes off of her. Just what did she do?"
That question was also in everybody's mind after seeing Fil.
Everyone in the department had worked with Fil longer than Elise. And what they could ascertain was that Fil was very conservative. Even during company events, she would wear long dresses that would hide any features Fil had.
But now, it was different.
"She's not even trying to stop the rest, even when she's bothered by it," Elise murmured, looking around the office.
Seeing that some of their colleagues kept their eyes on the boss's office while others gossiped with each other, a smile turned up on her face.
