It's Okay to Be Left Out

My workplace is a feast for the eyes—from the kindhearted team leader to the strikingly handsome CEO. Everything seemed perfect… until I made a disastrous mistake at the new employee welcome party.

The team leader, who had always been warm and approachable, suddenly started avoiding me. But I refuse to let things end like this! Determined, I chase after him, pouring my admiration into every interaction.

I was sure I was just expressing my appreciation… so why does it feel like this is turning into something far more complicated than simple admiration?
