CHAPTER 2: Tom's Idea
Tom woke up. It was a monday morning. Yesterday had just been a bit of a blurr, bubbly Maia had asked Tom to take her and Diana to the movies. Naturally Tom had declined at first. He had to finish a report for work but after Maia had batted her adorable eyes at her it had been hard to resist. So Tom took Maia and Diana to the movies... Maia had insisted on them watching a chick flick. Ugh... Not Tom's idea for spending a day. But it all paid up when he took them out for dinner. He had told them to wear something nice and Diana just had to wear a new dress showing off all her curves. It took Tom everything he could muster to stop himself from having a heart attack on how beautiful she looked.
So overall Tom got no work done yesterday and now he was going to pay for it.
Tom walked downstairs for breakfast. "Hey Diana." He said going into the fridge for his normal apple before he smelt that amazing aroma of pancakes. "Mmmm Pancakes." He said as he sniffed the air. As he sat down he realized something. "Diana. Arent you supposed to be dressed for work?" He asked viewing her laid back sweater and jeans. "I got fired." She stated simply and Tom nearly choked on the pancake peice he was eating. "WHAT?!?!" "I got fired." She said giving a small giggle at his shocked face. "Why?" He asked looking down at his tie " Jarvis... She told me if I left for Spain that I wouldnt have my job when I came back. " Tom had this look on his face. " I have to go change her mind because If I have to work with that substitute lady for another day Im going to scream." Diana laughed as he left.

"Jarvis... I need to talk to you." He said immediatly walking in her office when he got there. "What is it Baldwin?" She asked and he looked at her. "You need to hire Diana Skouris back immediatly... She was the best partner for me." Jarvis looked at him. "Are you sure you want her back working here?" "Yes ofcourse." "Well I'll need to see some kind of proof that she was the best partner for a guy like you." "Already done." Tom said as he set a huge folder down. "This is all the work that got down while me and Diana were partners." He set down a small folder. "This is what got done when me and that new lady..." He tried to remember her name. "Marie..." Jarvis substituted. "Yes... Thats what me and Marie got done." Jarvis gathered up the 2 folders. "I look at them tomorow.. Now get back to work."
Tom nodded as he left. Jarvis had to hire Diana back. His saneness depended on it. He frowned as he saw Marie. "Oh Tom... TOM OVER HERE!!! I SAVED YOU A SEAT! AND I GOT YOU A DONUT AND COFFEE." Tom groaned. "COME ON TOM." Marie continued to yell waving her arms. My life depends on it
