Dominic exhaled deeply as he stepped through the doors of the building, he tried to smile away his pain as he noticed the glances around him.

He had heard from James that everyone had thought Dominic had died, he didn't. Just got badly injured.

"Dom." James pulled his attention away from the security guard sitting at the front desk.

Dominic ignored James as he moved towards the elevator, he wished he could rush faster but couldn't.

James gave a short jog to Dominic "How are you feeling?"

It was almost as Dominic could feel all eyes on them as he kept his face forward, he didn't want to stare at James, he didn't want people to think they were finally on mutual terms.

"Why do you care?" Dominic gritted his teeth.

James held back his reaction "Are you fit enough to come back to work?"

Dominic watched as the elevator doors open "I sit all day, what do you think?" He stepped into the elevator; he carefully turned his attention to James.

James watched as the elevator doors closed. He kept his reaction calm as he noticed a person in a suit press the up button of the elevator.

James felt his phone vibrate in his pocket; he pulled it out. He hesitated to tap his phone, he hesitated to even care about what the notification was for.

He lifted his eyes up to the elevator opening, he watched as the person in suit stepped in. James followed behind; the elevator began to fill up.

James quickly shoved his phone back in his pocket.
