“Haaachuuu!”
That was the fifth time I sneezed. So, I got unlucky and caught a cold. Yeah. Totally sucks, I thought grimly. And whose fault was it again? X-A-N-D-E-R. That guy was an absolute omen in my life. If he didn't throw me in that frigging pool, I wouldn't be sick today, would I? Well, the good part, though, was I'd have a reason to be absent from work. Ha! Guessed, I still had some luck, I thought gleefully. But when I sneezed again and started to have a runny nose, I regretted getting sick.
“That looks bad, Abby.”
“I'm fine,” I said and pulled my blanket up to my neck. “I just need to rest.”
Eloise gave me a worried look. “Are you sure?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Did you call to inform your company or rather your boss for a sick leave?”
“Yeah,” I lied. Hmp, why would I call that basta
