Chapter 156

Linc looks up at me with dull dark eyes from being immersed in his work computer and he winces.

"Shit. I am sorry. It slipped my mind. I thought I told you. Or you knew. I don't know how I forgot to actually talk about it with you." He says apologetically, he abandons his work that he was obviously very engrossed in to give me his full attention. It is one of those little gestures that I find very endearing.

"Oh. It is fine. I am just surprised. I had to spend three hours down there in engineering before Marcus told me." I say. The news is actually great news. To say I don't get along with the people down there asides Marcus who weirds me out, is an understatement. Charlotte had already spread some unpalatable rumours about me from our several unfortunate early encounters and I can't look at anybody without that prejudice hanging between us.

I do my allocated tasks for the day which is usually not that much, and that is it. People leave me alone too. There isn't much to d
