What a Girl Wants, What a Boy Means
Missing Persons
Bella is surprised the first time Edward joins her for a company party. Usually, he's outgoing, charming, and is able to have anyone eating out of the palm of his hand. She's used to it; he is, after all, a brilliant advertising executive. So, when she introduces him to her coworkers and boss, she's shocked when he shies away from them. He looks uncomfortable and, as soon as he's able to get away without looking rude, he escapes to the bar. For the remainder of the night, he stands dutifully at her side, but she wonders where her fiancé went.
He's usually outgoing, but with my work friends, he clams up. Why?
He either doesn't like your work friends or feels self-conscious around them.
All mistakes are my own. Apologies.
