Bab 49: Becoming a Zombie

Ella POV:

Okay, I had my shift to finish and then I needed to dive deep into researching LBJ Company and come up with some ideas that would blow them away. But first, I had to survive the constant badgering from Dylan and Max. They were relentless today, asking me a thousand times to partner with them on the project. Seriously? Like I'd trust either of them with something this important. I said "no" so many times I was beginning to feel like a broken record. I really need to figure out how to get them off my back for good.

And then there was Jason. Oddly, he wasn't saying a word. He didn't even bother with his usual smug glances or smart remarks. It was... unsettling, to say the least. Normally, I'd feel his eyes trailing my every move, watching me like a hawk. It was like his gaze was burning into me, always intense and unwavering. But today, nothing. Just silence and that faraway look in his eyes.
