A little part of his chest twisted, a voice inside whispering, 'he's only pitying you...'<br/><br/>"I'm fine." Derek said, clearly still pissed.<br/><br/>"It was just a little accident is all." The coworker innocently said, any malice he'd been displaying towards Derek gone as he spoke to Conner. Derek scowled at the man, sensing his intentions. He wanted to make Derek look bad.<br/><br/>Derek stood down, swallowing his pride. He wouldn't give the unamed man the satisfaction of making an ass out of him.<br/><br/>"I over reacted." He said, wiping around. "I'll go find a mop..."<br/><br/>The other coworker on the other hand, Jason, let his smile return to his face.
