Chapter 21 - The Demon President Was Enamored (1/2)

The next days passed Luna by in a blur. She had to make a schedule and get used to the routine. Starting her day with a walk in the park with Fluffy, she made a mental note to visit her mother and Amber after working hours. Her busy schedule was also noticed by her friend, Corinne.

”Luna, are you sure you're okay?” Corinne left another stack of files on Luna's desk.

”What do you mean?” She didn't look like she's sick, right?

”Well, you look paler than usual.” Corinne paused, ”And you started taking naps in the afternoon, which you never did before.” She pointed out.

Luna laughed at her friend while her fingers continued to fly above the keyboard of her ŀȧptop.

”I just need a break, Corinne. Don't worry too much about me. You're being a mother hen again.”

”Hey, I'm just worried about you. You haven't really talked about what happened to you last week so I got worried.”

Sensing the concern in Corinne's voice, Luna stopped working and turned her chair to face her friend.

”Really. I'm fine. I know you're concerned, but try not to overthink, okay? I will come to you if ever I need some help.”

”If you say so, but Luna, promise me you won't push yourself too hard. I don't want you to bury yourself in work just to forget some things, okay?” Corinne smiled before tapping Luna's shoulder.

Luna returned her smiled and nodded. She was glad that there's still someone out there who had a genuine concern for her. Smiling to herself, she went back to her work, eager to finish it so she could leave early.
