hearing that, Joe so wanted cancel his intention to home. He knew Violet will be alone in this office.

"hi Violet"

Violet turned to him. "oh? hi Joe, you not come home?" Violet asked him. Joe shook his head."uhm.. no, i...i just cleared all my file in my desk" he lied.

"you overtime?"

"and so? why you do not home?"

"i'm here until nine at night. files in Xerox room neatly arranged yet" Violet said and point to the room.

"i'll help you" he replied quickly.

"what?"

"I don't mind, no problem i'll late home tonight, let me help you" Joe said and He went into the Xerox room.

"but Joe, you-"

"its okay Violet, besides i was also alone at home. i just wanted help ease your job" he said. Violet smiled at him "oh Joe, you're so kind"

"so... you often overtime like this?" Violet just shrugged ."yes, sometimes. almost fifteens years in Consolidated i'm so accustomed to overtime like this" Violet said.

"you're head secretary, you've been given a promotion from ?" Joe ask her. Violet shook her head and sigh."i dont know, but i wish gave that promotion to me. i always expecting"

"and then? what about home?"

"i'm sure he must independently" Joe said.

"yeah, but sometimes he spoiled"

Violet's arms nudged pile of folders to the floor and paper strewn everywhere. she immediately collect the papers. and at the same time, Joe's hand touched her hand. both looked at each other.

"oh? i-i'm sorry" Violet start blushing.

"you must be careful" He chuckled.

Finally they finish up all the files.

"thanks for helping, Joe"

"your welcome. need more help, Violet?"

"i'll type it again. now you can go home" said Violet. but Joe still wants to help her again.

"but Violet, i-"

"Joe, tomorrow you'll be busy again, you need rest now. i can take care of this myself" she said.

"but Violet, you're woman, and woman shouldn't work alone"

"i'm already used to, besides i'm not alone here. there is still Mr. Hart and several other employees were also overtime, now go home" she shooed him.

Honestly, Joe does not want to go home, but because Violet told him, finally he obeyed her. "okay Violet, sorry if i bother you"

"no, you're not, you very helpful. thanks again" she said.

"Violet, before i go, i need to tell something for you" said Joe, Violet began to wonder. "what is it?"

"tomorrow, umm... if you're not busy. maybe we could have lunch? together? I mean for two. just you and me. or if we're not ovetime, How about dinner tomorrow night?" he asked her.

Violet think about it."i would loved to. but its just...i'm not able to"

"okay, no problem. so...good bye Violet" he waved at her.

"bye Joe"
