Chapter 6
Theresa walked back to her office exhausted. Already 5 o'clock, she thought to herself. What a long day. And that stuck up jerk didn't help much either. She closed her eyes as she sat down. I want to go home. But I still have so much more work to do before leaving. I'll be here for hours. She sighs. Well, I better get started.
Three hours have passed. She yawns. Wow, it's getting late. I'm finally done. Thank God! Hmm. Was that Jared who just passed by? What is he still doing here? She decided to go find out.
"Mr. Casey?" she asked as she knocked.
"Oh, hi Ms. Crane," he answered, buried in papers.
"What are you still doing here?"
"I have to finish the work on the Paris Project for the presentation tomorrow."
"I thought Michael was doing that with you?"
"He was, but his wife called about two hours ago. She went into labor. So I told him to go," he answered, still concentrating on his work.
"Oh. So you're doing this all by yourself?"
"Ya well, I don't have a choice. Everyone else had already left for the day, so…"
She thought for a moment. "I'm still here," she said amiably. He smiled.
"Thanks. That would be great."
"O.k. So where do I start?" she asks, removing her jacket.
