WHERE WAS SHE?

Kang scanned the marketing area. She wasn’t at her desk. Neither was she at Dez or Kizzy’s desk. But they were. Their glares didn’t bother him one bit. He strode over to Kizzy. She sighed and stared down at her computer screen.

“Where is she?”

“Who?” She replied, not bothering to look up.

“Your roommate?”

“Dez is sitting across from me.”

“Present,” Dez said, raising her hand.

Kang didn’t let his frustration show. “Where is your other roommate? Where’s Willow?”

“Did you check the bathroom?”

Right. The bathroom. The place Willow hid out at when she was nervous or needed to think. Some things really never changed. Without another word, Kang turned away from Kizzy and strode to the bathroom.

It would look weird if he stood outside the ladies’ room. He took a few steps left and stood outside of the men’s room, propped up against the wall. He straightened his tie and tried to look nonchalant.

A guy exited the men’s room. “Hey, GM, there’s no one in there. You can go in.”

Shit. “Okay.” Kang remained where he was.

The guy shrugged then walked away. Kang waited outside the bathroom for ten minutes. Three women entered and exited the ladies’ room, all giving him weird looks on their way out. Okay, now he really did feel like a pervert. When the fourth woman entered and exited, he stopped her.

“Hey, is Willow Thompson in there? She’s late for a meeting and I wanted to make sure she was alright.”

“Hi, I’m Stephanie.” The female pushed her hair behind her ear. “I work in marketing with Willow.”

I didn’t ask you all that. “I know. I saw you in the meeting.”

“You saw me?” A huge smile bloomed on her face.

Kang gritted his teeth. “I did. Is Willow in the bathroom?”

“No. Willow left a little while ago. I heard her tell Olivia that her stomach ached. It must’ve been something she ate. You know what, she must’ve eaten at the food truck down the street again. That place gave me a stomach ache last week. I don’t think its real meat they’re selling. I think...”

“Okay, Stephanie. Thank you.”

“Any time,” she yelled as he walked away.

Willow had gone home. Before coming here, he’d gone over her attendance record. She’d never missed a day or called in sick. Now, because of him, she was leaving work early. Kang swiped his hand over his face.

Was his friends right? Was he hoping for an outcome that wasn’t to be? Did she leave because she didn’t want to face him? Was what happened in the stairwell a mistake that she just couldn’t face? Fuck.

“GM Kang, can I have a word with you?”

Kang stopped near the elevator. It was Olivia, the marketing director. He needed to talk to her anyway.

“Sure. I need to talk to you also.”

Olivia smiled. “Really? Meeting this way seems to benefit us both. Will you please join me in my office?”

Kang nodded and followed her to her office. He didn’t miss the eyerolls directed his way by Dez and Kizzy. Ignoring them, he stepped into Olivia’s office and sat down in the seat across from her.
