JUDE
"Jude, a moment?" Woo pulls me aside before I walk into the conference room.
"Sure," I gently smile. "What's up?"
He scratches the back of his head, looking away before he faces me as if unsure of his actions. Then, without warning, he pulls me in for a hug, and I freeze, eyes wide as he hugs me.
"I am so sorry."
"Am I fired?"
"What? No," he looks at me, shocked, before squeezing my arm. "I am sorry about your grandmother. Why didn't you tell me? We could have you go home as soon as the show ended hours ago."
"Oh," I shrug lightly. "It's okay," I have to force a smile. "I am okay. She was ill."
"Are you sure? Please let me know if you need anything. Anything at all."
"Thank you, woo," I pat the hand that is still holding me. "If I do, I will tell you."
