Learning to Negotiate

It was a little over an hour before Hayden returned to the room. I spent the past hour sitting on the sofa as I fretted about what had just happened. However, it seemed like there wasn’t anything for me to worry about. When Hayden returned to the room, he seemed calmed and collected. He had a pleasant smile for me, and I found myself smiling back.

“Why did your father visit? He seemed so angry…is everything ok?” I asked and I could hear my own concern in my voice.

Hayden sat down next to me on the sofa and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. Although some trouble went down between him and the boss, Hayden didn’t seem disturbed in the slightest.
