"Sorry, not during work hours." Brittany stood still, her eyes moist and locked on him.
Isaac paused, making another cup of coffee. "Miss, are you alright?" The café was sparsely populated, with just a few scattered customers.
Brittany felt exposed. "No, I was scolded again today." Isaac frowned, aware of her reputation for excellence in Craneville. "Who would dare scold you?" "I've moved to a new department. There were errors in my reports." Isaac noticed she seemed thinner than before. "If there's something you don't understand, maybe I can help." "You can?"
