This idea just came to me so please R&R as I would like to know what you think!:)
Zoe sat in the staffroom staring deeply into the coffee that was sitting in front of her, Zoe could hear people behind her who were about to come into the staffroom but stopped when they realised that she was there, and it was obvious that they were trying to avoid the awkwardness that came with her company.
Zoe and nick had just had an argument, once again.
This was getting to be a regular acutance but just a week after their engagement was announced zoe knew that it was over as they had just had the biggest argument yet and of Couse it was the argument where zoe chose to tell nick that she wasn't carrying her child but what she hadn't told him was that she never could.
Zoe sighed and twisted the diamond ring that was on her finger, she poured the hot coffee down the sink in the staffroom and headed to reception.
On her way there zoe noticed that many people stopped and stared, it was obvious that they all thought that this was just another nick and zoe argument and that nick would be back in her bed within 24 hours but zoe knew that this wasn't going to be the case despite her announcing to the whole ED that she loved him.
How stupid could she have been, she had just told the emotionless nick Jordan that she loved him which was of Couse very true but zoe had to be suspicious and think that they were only a bit of fun until nick declared that he wanted a child so did he really love her? Or was he just using her like so many others had?
Zoe finally arrived at the reception desk, it was the end of the day so all the staff were gathered around the reception area, well all except nick who zoe knew after today's events would probably be in his office downing whiskey.
The staff were laughing and joking to they saw zoe and then they suddenly stopped but zoe put a brave face on and looked at them smiling as If nothing had happened.
"You coming to the pub" said Zoe "first rounds on me"
Everyone smiled and agreed, but this made them think even more that this was just another argument, and something that was getting to be a regular accurance.
"Noel can you do me a favour" said Zoe to noel which made the ED staff stop in their tracks
The staff turned around and were shocked as they watched Zoe slide her engagement ring off.
"Give this to nick and tell him to get stuffed, would you?" said Zoe smiling "oh and preferably throw it at him"
The ED staffs was shocked and all turned to look at each other, but no more so than Tess and Charlie who knew by nicks reaction, right from the start that this was no normal argument, that something had happened.
"Zoe no offence" said noel "but Mr Jordan would probably fire me on the spot"
Zoe took a pen and a sticky note block that set at reception and wrote a message to nick on it
"Here, just give him this" said Zoe passing noel the note and narrowing her eyes, smiling "2 pints"
"deal" said noel smiling
Noel being himself read the note straight away and looked at Zoe in shock
"You have used a very vide vocabulary in this indeed" said noel smiling at Zoe
"It's just what everyone thinks" said Zoe raising one eyebrow "I don't see the problem"
