Episode 102: Foolish Games

Lila had to literally bite her tongue at the tone of voice that her boss just threw at her. "It came; I don’t know, a couple of seconds ago, I was right about to bring it-"

"Fine, try to make it prompt next time." Mrs. Gable snapped lugging the food back to her desk. In moments, Lila was buzzed in. "Listen I’m sorry about that I’m just stressed- have you eaten yet? Clear my conscience, I’ve got plenty of extras,"

Lila’s mouth bubbled with joy. "Gee, I don’t know there’s a peanut butter and jelly waiting on me in the fridge-"

"In that case you definitely have to stay," Michael handed her secretary a container of pasta. "You wouldn’t believe the number of times I end up having peanut butter and jelly for dinner at ten or so. Curran and I just can’t seem to get our schedules to meld all that often- how about you and your boyfriend, Bowie right? Curr’s really excited about helping him out."

"Bowie is not my boyfriend," Lila said shoveling in a forkful; it was a habit born of not eating particularly healthy half the time. "I mean he has been on several occasions-"

"We used to be just like that, Curran would run around on me any chance he got," Instantly the thirtiesh businesswoman wondered if that was something she should not have said.

"Well Bowie’s so devoted sometimes it’s frightening," Lila admitted, she wasn’t used to talking to women and she wondered if her boss would think her thoughts strange.

"Don’t misunderstand, Curran’s just like Bowie now, I mean one minute I was telling him we were through and the next thing I know he’s proposing, we’ve been fine ever since. It’s pure luck that saying yes didn’t turn out to be the biggest mistake of my life."
