I frowned. “What does that mean?”
“Most people argue and leave each other alone after. Y’all argue and keep finding each other again ten minutes later.”
“We work together.”
“Yeah, okay. I know you, girl.”
I sighed. “You say yeah, okay to everything.”
“Because you be lying to yourself.”
The elevator opened, and we headed downstairs.
Once we stepped outside, I immediately spotted Marcus waiting near the curb in his black Range Rover.
Laila noticed too.
“Ohhh,” she dragged out dramatically. “Look at your man.”
“That is not my man.”
“That’s definitely somebody man, might as well be yours.”
I laughed while Marcus stepped out.
“You exhausted?” he asked after kissing my lips.
“Yes.”
“I can see it in your face.”
Laila grinned. “Take her somewhere nice before she curse somebody out today.”
Marcus laughed softly. “I got her.”
I shook my head. “Please stop making it seem like I’m terrorizing people at work.”
“You are,” Laila said immediately.
Marcus opened the passenger door for me while I laughed.
Before getting in, I looked back toward the building one more time.
That was when I saw Vaughn outside near the entrance.
Just standing there.
Watching me.
Something about his expression threw me off for a second.
Not angry.
Not even irritated, really.
His face looked unreadable, but his eyes were darker than usual.
Almost empty.
