It's been 3 days and I haven't seen her around lurking.

I feel guilty, but I know I shouldn't. Myself is debating whether I should continue feeding this feeling or to just forget about it.

It is actually good that she's now gone. Now, I can freely move without thinking somebody is watching over me... somewhere. However, it's frustrating to think I hurt a person I hardly know. 

I let out loud sigh to ease the frustration.

"Any problem Dev?" Karen asked. 

Karen Flores is the treasurer of the Student Body Organization in our school, I always work with her ever since. She always checks the budget request of our every organization before signing it for my approval. I really admire how she work, she never complains nor you can never feel she's tired of what she's doing. She's easy to work with plus whenever you look at her you will feel light and relieved. She's the sunshine in our office. Every time I'm exhausted with work, studies, project, and everything I just look at her at a distance and suddenly  I feel energized. 

I don't like her. Maybe just a little... very little. I can not like my co-worker and that is not gonna happen. I don't want to us to have awkward moment, specially when we're left alone in this office. 

I weakly smile. 

She stood up and walk towards my station. She gave me a cold coffee in can and a sandwich. She pulled a chair and share table with me. 

"So where's the problem?" She's smiling while checking the file of papers on my table. 

I blushed.

"No.. there is really nothing.." I said while trying to push my chair a inch further from her. 

"I can handle it plus I'm just thinking of something... Nothing related to this paper" I try to smile to convince her

"Uh..oh so okay then let me hear it" She said

She is really cute. She have a very long brown hair, long eyelashes, blueish eyes, small lips, great nose, and clear skin.

I clear my throat. "Just some family issues.." I lied

"I'm sorry..." she said. I can feel the sincerity on her. 

Before she left, she looked back. "I'm just... Just know I'm just here, Dev..." she weakly smile

I feel so awful. How can I lie to a sweet, kind, and thoughtful woman like her

I sigh silently.
