How are you today?

[Jay]

Just got back from lunch. I usually go out for lunch with the rest of my colleagues. But not today.

So anyways whilst waiting for an elevator in the lobby, I saw this one familiar muscular buff figure entering our office building. Oh, crap. I know that figure. It was Sam. He was with his colleague.

'Okay, Jay. Smile. Crack a smile." I kept telling myself.

Sam looked at me and then smiled. "Hi, mate." He's British.

I managed to crack a little smile. "Hi ..." I croaked.

Sam and his colleague walked past me as his colleague wanted to go to a convenience store located at the other side of the building's lobby.

Few seconds later, Sam and his colleague appeared again. They were waiting for an elevator as well. But both of them stood at the left side of the lobby. I stood at the right side. Sam took a peek at me.

I wasn't ready to have a chat whatsoever with Sam. A smile was a big step. A hello was a progress in my book.
