"How did you get Sid Sultry talking about an order this big" Michelle asked. She was sat in her office chair looking through paperwork, freshly dressed and looking as best she could which was difficult having only been sick once again back in the flat while changing.
"My boyish charm and a few white lies" Rob replied smiling to himself while walking around the office with documents in his hand as well.
"White lies" She questioned him
"I told him we were on the cusp of a major expansion into a second factory"
"A second factory"
"Well clench this deal and it could happen" He said smugly once again as she sighed in disbelief just as Steve walked in.
"Hiya wondered if you fancied going out for lunch" Steve asked jigging from leg to leg. Bless his little heart only trying to be nice and cute welcoming her back, best he could, but hormones once again got in the way and she totally snapped without meaning too.
"Steve you know we've got a meeting, Robs done an amazing job to get us this far, we cant lose this deal" She moaned while stacking piles up piles of paper.
"I wanted to take you out for lunch somewhere romantic and expensive I was being spontaneous"
"Yes well can you be spontaneous a bit later love please"
"Well no because then that would be a plan you know and plans by their nature aren't spontaneous"
"Our client will be here any minute" Rob butted in getting annoyed at the fellow mans actions.
"Ahh ohh well you might be best to relax you look a bit tense"
"You are making me tense"
"Okay love how about you just go okay this is work" Michelle said standing up to try and get Steve to leave.
"Okay if that's what you want I'll leave you to your important meeting"
"Thank-you" She whispered before turning back to Rib and apologised
"Eh had the Wilson order gone"
"Eh Kirks just loading it now"
"I want it away before Sid gets here" He said walking out to try and get Kirk to speed up. Michelle sat back down in her chair and slowly started to regret the way she had spoken to Steve, she was hating this feeling one thing but hormones making her do another it was driving her insane. She could only think of the one way to fix it, so quickly walked out the factory and straight over to Steve who was still pondering outside wondering what to do.
"Im so sorry babe, I've been such a cow today and you've only tried to help" She said clinging onto him.
"Hey come on beautiful it doesn't matter, you've got enough on your plate without me causing picky fights with everyone, so don't worry eh"
"It does though you've not done anything" She said trying to stop the tears from falling as Sid pulled up in his car.
"No one keeps me waiting" Sid said pacing up and down the office floor. They were both well in the office and Rob had gone on some mysterious disappearing act right when he was needed.
"I'm always on time, never late. 25 years in this business and I've never been late"
"Well I'm sure Rob will be here any second, you know how he likes to make a big entrance" Michelle stuttered out trying to keep the important man in-front of her happy.
"Big entrance don't soft talk me, 2 minutes and I'm gone"
"Well eh tell you what why don't I make us a coffee while you're waiting and you can look over the paperwork" She said trying to hand him the paper but he wouldn't take it so just put it down softly on the table.
"Eh black and a sugar"
"Milky and two sugars" He corrected her before she stormed out her heels clicking loudly on the floor.
"Well where is he" She asked as she found Kirsty running around manically.
"He disappeared"
"What do you mean disappeared"
"I went outside and he's not there"
"Well he only left two minutes ago, he took out a box for Kirk"
"No sign of Kirk and no sign of Rob"
"Well that's not possible unless maybe he's popped to the Kabin or Dev's"
"I checked there too" Kirsty said shaking her head.
"This doesn't make any sense did you try the rovers or the caf"
"I didn't think he'd go that far when he's got such an important meeting cant you call him"
"He's not got his phone on him"
"Can you please just go check and tell him we need him now"
"Yeah sure" Kirsty said before dashing off. Michelle slowly walked off to the kitchen to make the drinks as Sid came out looking absaultly mad.
"Sorry but this has gone on long enough I'm going" He said storming out the factory.
"Oh no oh Sid wait" She called after him but by the time she had got outside he was already in his car driving away.
"So he's gone then" Rob said as he paced up and down the floor.
"Yeah he went about 5 minutes ago I did everything I could part from handcuff him to the radiheater, where were you anyway"
"Ask you boyfriend" He said towering over her making sure to empathise the word boyfriend.
"What"
"Steve locked me in the back of the van and Kirk drove me half way to Clivalow"
"No"
"Yes"
"No Steve wouldn't do something like that; he knows how important this is"
"Defend him to the cows' crom all you like I know what happened"
"Yes and I know Steve, where's Kirk"
"In the gents throwing up, got car sick on the way home, how mad was Sid"
"Fuming"
"Yeah well he's not the only one. Right just give me ten minutes to calm down and I'll get on the phone to start grovelling, we need that order".
