Many were gobsmacked by her move.
Holy smokes, she must be new, right? To actually sit next to Romeo.
Didn't everyone know Romeo hates being disturbed at lunchtime?
Though they weren't dining at the same table, her seat was just to the left of Romeo, barely half a yard away.
Romeo didn't like people getting close. Especially women with nervous dining habits, he could tell right away what she was after.
Lena felt Romeo's gaze and thought she had caught the attention of the formidable CEO. She ducked her head, pretending to spill soup on her blouse, then turned and asked politely, "Excuse me, do you
happen to have a napkin? I've accidentally stained my clothes."
Romeo's eyes fell on her, seeing right through her little ruse.
"Are you new here? I haven't seen you around before. Hi, I'm Lena from the admin department. Which department are you in?"
"Lena, is it?" That's when Rosemary returned, taking her seat on Romeo's right. His tone softened a bit,
"Finished your call?"
