Noelle
“Noelle, I believe you are acquainted with Mr. Hall?” Robert asked me. I had to hand it to him. He was doing a fantabulous job of pretending like nothing had happened between us last night. In fact, he was so good at it that I felt a little insulted. Sure, we were at work, and we had to be professional, especially around the other employees or prospective employees. But couldn’t he give me at least some little sign… maybe a long lingering look, or a little pat on the shoulder…something to show that we’d shared an intimate moment last night.
“Yes,” I gave him a cool, indifferent look. Two could play at this little game of ignore-the-elephant. “I’m acquainted with Mr. Hall. How are you, Peter?”
Peter Hall smiled at me. “Fine, thank you. It's good to see you again, Noelle.”
