500 Words
" Very unrelated question, umm....why does your sister always give me this cold icy stare anytime I pass by her ",
" ummm she ...is not my sister and I think that is how she is around people who she does not know, she will.... definitely come around", Tessa said to Jude as they ate lunch together during lunch break at the company's cafeteria.
Bella was coming towards them, she wanted to talk to Tessa but seeing her with that Jude of a guy made her walk past their table in anger.
Tessa noticed this," ummm I will be back", she stood up and practically ran after Bella who looked like she was running away, " Bella wait up ", Bella stopped.
" what do you want ",
" stop this, what exactly is your problem ",
" my only problem is that you are still staying with that crook",
" He is not a crook and he is my assistant, he always has to be by my side Mr Martins orders not mine.", she defended.
Bella walked away, Tessa walked back to her table to meet Jude.
" so any luck", he asked looking at her sour face.
" she hasn't yet come around but trust me she will soon",
They both fell silent as they ate, it was getting awkward now, " umm you have something on your mouth, let me help you ", Jude extended his hand and wiped her cheek.
" Thanks for the meal today, but we have to her back before Mr Martins goes ballistic on us ".
They both stood up, carefully placing their chairs under the table, Jude glanced around once more and sighed," I think we should definitely get going Tessa ".
" Miss Roberts, Mr Martins needs you urgently at the conference hall, he seems a bit annoyed", the receptionist at the entrance of the office said to Tessa as they both entered.
" Don't worry you can go on without me, I will see you around ", Jude said as Tessa entered the lift to the conference hall .
somebody else was there and obviously it was Bella, " we meet again Tessa ", she said drily
" what exactly is the problem Bella ",
" I've told you but you do not want to listen ',
" this is ridiculous, Bella "
" You know someday you will see how right I am , and I've already started my researches ",.
"so you are now a stalker, to the best of my knowledge that is a crime",
Bella didn't respond, she just got out of the lift when her stop came and left Tessa to go to hers.
" Rude" Tessa remarked.
That shouldn't be my problem she thought, I have a meeting and a very bad tempered boss to worry about.
And sure enough when she got there he was there, fuming.
" You are late Ms Roberts",
" I am sorry Sir I was having lunch".
