Chapter 41 Office Romance

• If I thought the scrutiny had been bad before, it was at a fever pitch on the intern floor. The chatter starts the second someone notices me. I try to keep my head down once more, just wanting to get to my desk and start my edits, but someone calls out, “Welcome to work, Mrs. Croft!”
• Everyone but me bursts out laughing, and it’s all I can do to continue to my desk and not flee. Once I’m there, I sit my bag down and try to disappear behind the three thin white walls, but it’s no use.
• I can hear them mocking me, everything. This is everything I feared, and now it’s coming to fruition…after only a single date.
