章 397: Round Two

Ophidia turned to Dave, her face almost sullen, she was worried that she had caused trouble for her boss and he might blow up on her. She didn't even have a chance to really enjoy her new post and now, there was a real chance that she might get fired before her first paycheck.

"I should probably leave, let the two of you talk this out between yourselves," Ophidia suggested meekly standing up at record speed in a hurry to get out of the situation she herself kickstarted.

"Oh, hell no!" Dave rejected her idea decidedly. "If you leave right now, Zoe will think that I actually did something and cheated on her. Just stay here, I'll think of something before she arrives." 

Ophidia reluctantly sat back down. She gazed at Dave who seemed oddly relaxed given the circumstances. Who knew what was going on in the mind of the world's most famous undead...if only she knew that internally Dave was repeating 'I did not do anything' like a mantra to keep calm.
