The colleague in your team meeting who happens to have the most sympathetic face is about to be stared at so intensely they will likely conclude that you’re in love with them, it has been announced.
Miya Wilkes, 34, whose eyes positively twinkle with empathy and understanding, is reportedly regularly for her approachability by becoming your human stuffed toy for the entire Monday morning briefing.
You explained: “I don’t mean to stare at Miya. It’s just that when I have something to contribute, she’s the least likely to tut loudly and say ‘inappropriate’.”
“She also looks like Miss Honey from Matilda,” you continued. “Which makes me feel less anxious – and also like breaking into her childhood abuser’s home to steal back her favourite chocolates.”
Wilkes commented: “Do I have something on my face?”
You responded by muttering something barely audible that sounded like “yes – kindness.”
