Sarah swallowed nervously at the man's sharp observation. Still, she tried to deflect. "What shift?"
"Well...something," Austin shrugged while munching on the cookies that Sarah forced-feed him. "You behave differently from the last time I see you."
Ugh--so he wasn't just someone who cared about numbers.
Sarah pursed her lips slightly. "Different how?"
"Hmm...how should I say this?" Austin stroked his chin as if he were appraising a stock market graph instead of someone else's situationship. "He acts cautiously around you--haven't even flirted at all since I came here, only staring dagger at me occasionally."
"R-really?"
Was it because she was used to it? Even when Hajin was being flirty, it just felt like a normal conversation. When he stopped, it also just a normal conversation.
Or perhaps because she wasn't a very observant person in the first place...
"And you--" Austin shifted his sharp gaze to the flustered girl.
