"I promise beloved that the workers would love to see you." Jed cajoled his wife, wanting her to come into the office when nothing pressing was going on.
"But what if they've got their hands full or something Jed? I can't interrupt them from their work!" Abbey protested smiling at her ridiculous husband.
"Mrs Landingham would have told me if they were busy, she says that they've been mostly carrying out administrative duties for a few days. I promise you they could probably do with a bit of a distraction right now. Now would you please just trust me and go to the office with me?" Jed tried to reason; he was attempting to reason by using his large puppy dog eyes.
Though Mike thought that the man couldn't quite pull off the puppy dogs eyes. It was sweet however to know that the two were so completely in love with one another, that even the most ridiculous tactic like puppy dog eyes could work on one another.
"Alright, we'll go in, just does Mrs Landingham at least know to expect us? Are you expecting trouble? Why is Mike here, not that I don't love having you with us, but why are you here?" Abbey asked confused.
"Oh darling, I love you so much that I never want to see you in trouble, now is that such a crime?" Jed tried to stifle his grin, but his love for his wife was clearly shining through both his eyes and his words.
Abbey simply rolled her eyes; she had become rather used to this behaviour from her husband.
Mike looked at the two of them and gestured to his two employers to precede him into the room. Glancing at him suspiciously before he entered the office behind, he was met by a sudden wall of sound.
"WHICH ONE OF YOU TOUCHED MY COFFEE SUPPLY?" CJ roared. Mike could see that some of the rest of the workers, were standing trying to stop their shoulders from shaking as they tried to contain their mirth from slipping out.
"You are far too addicted to that substance CJ; I did it for your good." Toby calmly replied he was standing with arms folded across his chest as he peered up at an irate CJ tapping her foot up and down on top of the table.
"EXCUSE ME BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A GOOD WORKER FOR YOUR MISERABLE ARSE, WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TAKE MY COFFEE?" CJ screeched down at the man.
"CJ, look at you, your shaking and your skin is starting to change colour, don't you think that you're blowing this whole thing out of proportion?" Sam calmly asked.
"WHO ASKED YOU? I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH MY COFFEE CONSUMPTION, IT HASN'T BEEN AFFECTING MY WORK HERE AT ALL" CJ demanded, wanting to know what gave Sam or Toby the right to mess with her little addiction.
"Ms Cregg, why are you standing on the desk, and don't you think that's possible that you are blowing this whole thing out of proportion if it devolves into a screaming match if someone does someone so innocent as mess with your coffee supply?" Jed asked pulling everyone's attention in the office on him and Abbey standing near the doorway.
"JED! It seems like Ms Cregg has an addiction to caffeine and your words, nor Toby's actions helping her at the very least. Now apologise to her, at the very least. You too, Sam your words probably weren't that helpful either." Abbey remonstrated both her husband and Toby along with Sam.
"Sorry CJ." Toby, Jed and Sam apologise in unison, having hung their heads and peering at the floor with interest.
Mike was right; this work would never be slow and boring!
