Our offices were divided by see-through glass. Unlike Faith, my office was right in front of my boss. Whenever I lifted my head, I found her staring at me.

On our first day, I texted Faith at exactly 1pm asking her to join me for lunch. As I switched off my computer to walk out, I heard someone shout, “Beryyyyyl!

I stood still for a while wondering what I had done wrong.
