"Excuse me. Could you pass this document along to Elaine?"
Her coworker looked up in surprise. When she saw it was me, she gave an awkward nod.
I didn't think much of it. I turned and walked away.
What I didn't expect was to run into Elaine and Henry right there by the elevators.
The second Elaine spotted me, she let out a cold scoff. "Finally realized you were wrong?"
"Don't think showing up to apologize means I'll forgive you."
Henry chuckled and clapped me on the shoulder. "Hey, Charles, why don't you go make things right with your wife..."
I didn't let him finish. I stepped aside, dodging his hand.
"Excuse me. Coming through."
I walked into the elevator and pressed the close button right in front of Elaine's face.
"Charles, you—"
The doors sealed shut. Whatever she had to say stayed on the other side.
For some reason, a flicker of unease crept into Elaine's chest.
"Team Leader Henson, this is the document Charles asked me to give you."
Elaine took it without thinking, flipped it open—and froze. The words Divorce Agreement stared back at her in bold print.
She spun around, disbelief twisting her features, and stormed toward the engineering department.
