'Whoa there, Audun, I think you've got the wrong end
of the stick. I didn't mean it like that,' he said and tried to
catch my eye, but I was looking right past his ear and didn't
answer.
'Well, let's talk about this some other time. Please would
you go to your desk now.' I turned and walked back down
between the desks. I took a quick glance at Arvid's face,
and then I sat down and hung up my bag and stared out
of the window.
