Sarah’s heart raced in her chest as the air around her became thick. She hurried to the back, dropping her empty tray on the floor, to avoid being seen by James. She sat down and cried there. It didn’t take long for her coworkers to notice, and one of them took a seat next to her.

“Are you all right?” A pleasant-looking young man inquired. He presented her with a tissue and a glass of water. “I’m Dax. Do you want me to complete your round?” Sarah raised her head. It was thoughtful of him to offer, but she knew she needed to remain professional. She couldn’t afford to lose this job, especially at this point in her career.
