I snap my fingers and point at him. “And there’s the ulterior motive that I was waiting for from you.”

Aurielo glances around the supply closet. “Planning on keeping me locked up in here, or can I finish gifting presents to kids with cancer?”

Shit.

Did he really just say that?

Make me into the bad guy.

I open the door and gesture for him to step out of the closet. He heads down the hallway. I clasp my hands together in front of me. I have no choice but to follow him and force a smile. If I could chew him out right now, I would.

His nice guy act is just that, an act. He can fool my colleagues and a floor of sick kids, but he can’t fool me.
