So this is the second part to chapter 3 as it were. Keep reviewing please. Much appreciated.

Work had gone well that morning. Carla and Michelle had both managed to secure a future large order each, and the workers seemed to working hard.

It was 11:30am when the door of the factory opened. Liam waltzed in, looking for Carla and Michelle.

"Oh hello, how can we help you Sir?" Sean piped up.

"Alright. Where's Carla and Michelle?"

Sean just nodded his head towards the office, his mouth wide open at the sight of the handsome man in front of him. Liam nodded as if to say thank you, and proceeded to the office.

The whispering of the workers began. "Oh how hot was he?" exclaimed Sean. "I would have him on a plate"

"My dream man. Complete and utter perfection" added Julie.

"Nah, not my type. I go for the muscly, rugged, man's man type, me." Beth chipped in, to the disapproving looks of all the other workers. "What…?" she exclaimed.

Liam knocked on the office door. "Ello ello ello, business women of our generation"

"What's in the bag?" Carla asked, not interested in saying hello to him, just intrigued to know what was in the shopping bag that he was holding.

"Well, Carla, I am glad you asked" he proceeded jokingly. He took out a bunch of gorgeous flowers, and handed them to Michelle. "This is your 'Congratulations on your new job' present" he winked, to which she gave him a hug to thank her brother for being so generous. Liam then put his hand back in the shopping bag, and took out a mug. He handed it to Carla, "And this is your 'Congratulations on your new job' present" he said again, as he handed her the mug.

Carla took the mug from Liam, and read the logo. "Queen Bitch?"

"You're welcome" Liam replied, before giving Michelle a smirk, both of them enjoying winding Carla up.

Just as Liam was about to leave, a dark haired man knocked on the factory door and entered. They all looked towards the door, all of them slightly confused as to why he was there.

"Peter?" Michelle started. They had been dating a while back, but it didn't work out for them, but they were still friendly towards each other, and spoke from time to time.

"Yeah, sorry if I seem nosy. I saw the factory door wide open…" Carla gave Liam a look of disapproval for leaving the door open, knowing there was expensive material by the door that could have easily been stolen. "…yeah and then I saw that the alarm had been smashed" Peter looked confused now, as he looked around him, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, "…but everything seems fine?"

"Yeah that were me. Didn't know the code!"

"Bit aggressive aren't you?"

Carla took this opportunity to flirt a little, "So I've been told" she winked, and glanced quickly towards Liam, to see his reaction, before turning back towards Peter. "So come to fix it for me have ya' darlin'?"

"I will if I can buy you a meal at the bistro?" Peter said, maybe pushing his luck a little. As Peter said this, Carla looked over to Liam, who was looking at the floor, feeling the awkwardness of the situation. Peter remembered how Carla had shot him down a few weeks back when he tried to flirt with her. He remembered that she said she was not available, and he suddenly worried that Liam was her partner, and that he had over stepped his mark.

Carla nodded "Yeah, you're on. A free alarm fitting and a free meal. How's a girl to say now, eh?"

Peter smiled "The name's Peter by the way"

"I heard." She answered, looking over to Michelle and Liam as she couldn't help herself from smirking. "Tomorrow night… 7pm" she demanded.

Peter gave an approving nod, and walked out of the factory, pleased with himself and slightly surprised that she had agreed to have dinner with him.

Liam didn't say anything, just pulled a face as he pointed to the Queen Bitch mug and looked at Michelle, who rolled her eyes, not surprised at Carla's recent actions.

Liam left shortly afterwards, telling the women that he had to take Sarah out that night for a romantic meal. The aim was to make Carla jealous, but she just brushed it off, and convinced both of them that she wasn't, but it hurt her a little, hurt her more than she cared to admit, even to herself.

"What is it with you and unavailable men? He's sort of dating this Leanne, you know"

"You said it, he is SORT OF seeing her. I don't see a problem"

"You wouldn't, would you?"

Carla smirked at Michelle's comment. She knew she could make men grovel and beg for her attention, and she loved it. She loved it even more that Michelle was acting a bit jealous. She was surprised however to realise that Michelle did not kick up a fuss. Maybe her and Peter's thing was really nothing after all.

The truth was, Michelle didn't even care that much that she would be going out with Peter, she was well over their short relationship, and they were now friends. What she did care about was the constant game playing between her sister in law and her brother. She knew that feelings would get in the way somewhere down the line, by either or by both, she knew them all too well. She didn't want to see the situation turn messy, where she'd be stuck in the middle.

"Just be careful yeah. I don't want things turning messy" her voice stern.

Carla bit on the pen that she was holding, "Hmmm" she directed at Michelle, and gave her a wink. Another one of her games was about to begin.
