He’s Spending The Night With Another Woman

Kira kept her nose to the grindstone and slogged through stacks of reading materials. She kind of enjoyed the work once she got the hang of it. Though occasionally, Kira cast a longing glance at the shorter and older building across the street. It housed the staff of Stamford Daily. Her application for a summer internship there had been efficiently and firmly declined. But hope springs eternal. Kira still checked the newspaper’s online recruitment page now and then. Maybe they would soon be looking for winter break interns. Her phone started vibrating. Kira checked the incoming message. It was from Liam Cane. ‘Are you off work?’ Kira typed, ‘No. Doing overtime today.’ ‘Have you had dinner?’ ‘Yes, if a chicken ham with cheese sandwich counts as dinner.’ ‘It doesn’t. You need a proper meal. How about seafood? My treat.’ The message came with a smiley face emoji. Kira replied with a winking face. ‘I thought it was my turn to treat.’ ‘Then come out for dinner. I’ll let you get the cheque.’
