Be Hones 80

    I felt embarrassed for Myra.


    Of course, she was embarrassed too, but she was good at brushing it off, shing a cheeky smile and saying, “Alright, Josh, I’ll leave it to you


    then!”


    Myra put my bag down and quickly walked over to me, nudging me as she pulled me forward. As we walked, she asked, “Is something up with Josh today? He doesn’t seem quite himself.”


    I didn’t respond. From what Josh had said, Myra could tell he was annoyed, but I thought… he’d asked Myra to get her own food so she wouldn’t have to bother me. Was he… worried about me?


    The thought made me shiver, and I immediately felt a little too full of myself.


    “When we sit down, let’s sit separately,” I suggested, recalling how I had ended up in Josh’s roomst night. I really wasn’t ready to face him just yet.


    “Why separate? Why not sit together? It’s the perfect time to talk about today’s ns,” Myra countered, using work as her


    excuse.


    Still, I called her out. “You just want to see if you can get Josh to eat more, don’t you?”


    “You’re starting to really understand me,” Myra said with a mischievous grin.


    I knew I couldn’t refuse sitting with Josh, so I kept quiet. If I said anything, Myra would start guessing again.


    Myra’s mind works in such strange ways, and yet she’s clever.


    But no sooner had we put down our trays and sat down than someone approached us.


    “Myra, is that really you?” A beautiful girl, holding her breakfast tray, stood there.


    Myra jumped up, her face lighting up with joy. “What are you doing here?”


    “I’m on a business trip. It’s been so long! Want to eat together?” the girl asked.


    Myra didn’t even nce at me first. She looked at Josh, then back at me, and said, “Sure!”


    She picked up her tray and, after nodding at both Josh and me, followed her old friend away.


    Now, it was just Josh and me left at the table. I was already ufortable, but now it was even worse.


    “You don’t have to feel awkward. You just slept on my bedst night. We didn’t… sleep together,” Josh said casually, and I almost choked on the soup I was drinking.


    I quickly covered my mouth, and he handed me a napkin.


    I red at him as I wiped my mouth, trying topose myself, and leaned closer to him, lowering my voice. “Why didn’t you wake me upst night?”


    “I did, but you didn’t wake up,” Josh replied, eating his breakfast like it was nothing.


    “I don’t believe you,” I said. I’m always sharp when I sleep.


    “Sorry, but I did try. You just didn’t wake up,” Josh said with a look that clearly said, “Believe it or not.”


    I was so frustrated. The thought that he had probably carried me to his bedst night made me feel even more awkward. I snapped, “Even if I didn’t wake up, you could’ve at least taken me back to my room.”


    “Next time, I’ll make sure to take you back,” Josh said, his expression unreadable.


    Next time? As if there would be a next time. I wasn’t letting that happen.


    I took a big bite of bread, and after chewing a few times, I finally said, “Don’t let Myra find out aboutst night.”


    Josh finished his meal, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, “What are you afraid of? That she might misunderstand us? Or are you more concerned about your reputation? Or maybe… you’re worried about your boyfriends finding out?”


    His words took me by surprise. I almost choked again. “What did you just say?”


    “You should be more worried about me, you know,” Josh continued, folding the napkin into a neat square.
