Chapter 63

• Now, it was a new day and dinner was over. I was back to feeling shy again. For the first time, I was wearing a body hugging gown to work and I felt different. I had received a couple compliments from my former colleagues, which honestly helped in boosting my confidence. I hadn't slept over at the Fernando's residence last night, because I had gone back to Bianca's house. I made a mental note to call Madame Beatriz and let her know that all was well, and I was going to see her later in the day.
• Silently, I prayed that I wouldn't come across Federico this morning. All was definitely well, but I wondered how things were going to be between us from now on. He hadn't asked me out because he was clearly trying to take things slowly. But then, I knew he was very much interested in me, and it made me sad because I realized I didn't really feel that way towards him. All I felt towards him was genuine friendship, and it took dinner for me to figure that out. I actually felt bad in a way.
• Thankfully, I got to my office without running into him, and was glad I already got coffee for Ricardo on my way in. I wouldn't have a reason to step out again, except to see Bianca and tell her how my night had gone. When I had gotten to her place last night, she was already asleep, and I had woken up this morning to see she was already gone.
