Zoe walked back to her office and got her coat, 5 minutes later tess walked in and zoe smiled but she noticed that Tess give her a strange look and looked around her office.

"what?" said Zoe

"oh em nothing" said Tess "I will talk to you in the pub"

Zoe smiled and her and tess walked out together.

"night Dr Hanna" said Max

Zoe smiled and turned around looking at Max

"Dr Hanna?" said Zoe

"well Noel said that on my first day I should follow the rules and he said that 1 of them was treating the staff with respect, like calling doctors by there professional name" said Max

Zoe smiled, rested her elbows on the reception desk opsite Max, Max did the same and he could smell Zoe's sweet perfume

"I have a more important rule" said Zoe

"what?" said Max smiling and looking into Zoe's eyes

"dont try to pull your boss" said Zoe

Zoe smiled, turned around and continued walking out with Tess

"what was that all about? " said Tess

"oh nothing" said Zoe

Zoe and Tess walked to the pub, got there drink and sat down at a table

"so what was it you wanted to talk to me about" said Zoe to Tess

"I actually wanted to ask you a question" said Tess

"go ahead" said Zoe taking a sip of her drink

"why did your office smell of men's aftershave" said Tess as if it was an obvious question

"oh that was Max" said Zoe

"what!" said Tess

"yea I had a go at him earler, he and Noel found out that I was texting Nick and they googled him and the worst thing is that they found something" said Zoe

"what exactly did they find?" said Tess

"a website listing all his achievements and a picture" said Zoe

"oh" said Tess taking a sip of her drink

Tess looked at Zoe who was looking at the ground

"what?" said Tess

"I am just worried about him" said Zoe "he has no family and no friends I am guessing cause you know what he is like in social situations, the only thing he has is that list of bloody achievements well that and his gray combed over hair"

"combed over hair" said Tess near spitting out her drink

"yea...I know" said Zoe putting her hand through her hair

Suddenly max came over to the table and smiled at Zoe, Zoe bit her lip trying not to smile back

"so are you going to let me buy you a drink" said Max

"no, I think I will stick with the rainday cheque" said Zoe

"if your sure" said Max winking to Zoe before he walked off Zoe smiled into her drink then realised that this had happened infront of Tess

"well thats unusual" said Tess

"what?" said Zoe

"you saying no to a guy who clearly likes you" said Tess

"i'm not like that anymore" said Zoe

"did Nick Jordan change you?" said Tess

"something like that" said Zoe

Zoe stood up and lifted her coat which surprised Tess
