C36 Which Beauty Has Caught Your Eye

I looked at him curiously. "Brother, why do you keep calling yourself a lone wolf? With that handsome face of yours, surely some women here are interested." Chris immediately laughed. "Look who's talking about women now."

I narrowed my eyes. "Answer the question." He pointed at me. "No. First answer mine." "What question?" His grin widened. "That means you've healed." I frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"For months you never looked at another woman. Today you're noticing women again." I immediately realized he was changing the subject.

I shook my head and laughed. "Come on, brother. Tell me. Which beauty in this company has caught your attention?" Before he could answer, several women from the Administration Department walked past us.

The moment they saw Chris, they smiled. "Goodbye, Mr Chambers." "See you tomorrow, Mr Chambers." "Have a good evening, Mr Chambers." Chris awkwardly waved. I tried my best not to laugh.

The moment they were out of earshot, I couldn't hold it anymore. I straightened my posture and copied one of their voices. "See you tomorrow, Mr Chambers." Chris stared at me. I copied another voice. "Have a wonderful evening, Mr Chambers." This time I burst out laughing. "Since when are you called Mr Chambers?"

Chris looked completely speechless. "They're annoying." I laughed even harder. "Oh really? They don't seem annoying." "They are." "They seem very friendly." "They are not." The more serious he became, the more I laughed.

For the first time in a very long while, the conversation wasn't about heartbreak. It wasn't about Samantha. It wasn't about Ben.

It was just two friends enjoying the end of a good day. Eventually, the sun began to set. Chris and I said our goodbyes and headed home.

As I rode my bicycle through the evening streets, I found myself smiling. For the first time life didn't feel completely broken.
