"Alice said you left with him." I'm not sure if he's angry that I didn't get his permission or not.
"Sorry, I should've said something. It's just that he came to my desk, and I didn't think I'd be lo—"
He interrupts. "That's fine, don't worry about it. It's not like he needs my permission to meet with any of his employees."
I sense he's still frustrated and try to redirect the conversation. "Are you leaving now?"
"Yeah, I'm starving. I'm gonna grab some food." He narrows his eyes in contemplation then asks, "Would you like to join me?"
Should he go? Should he have been asked?
