Zoe sighed and walked to her office, lying back on her black chair that sat behind her desk.
There was a knock on the door and Tess walked in, closing the door behind herself and sitting down in front of Zoe taking the opportunity to talk to her as Connie wasn't in the office, for once.
"I found out that are plan didn't go very well" said Tess looking at Zoe
Zoe sighed and rubbed the back of her neck before lying back in her chair.
"Do you know how many people have asked me out today?" said Zoe
"5?" said Tess "10?"
"14" said Zoe leaning over her desk "and the worst thing is that they look like bloody senior citizens"
There was a knock on the door and max entered interrupting Tess and Zoe's conversation which Zoe didn't mind.
"Max" said Zoe sounding happy to see him "what can I do for you?"
"I need to have a chat" said max looking down at the ground with a frown on his face "in private"
"I will leave you too it" said Tess sensing that what max wanted to talk too Zoe about was serious
As soon as Tess closed the door max looked up at Zoe and smiled, Zoe smiled back knowing that max was only pretending to be all serious because Tess was in the room.
Zoe hinted for max to sit down as this was the first time she had got the feeling that she could actually be with him because he respected her wishes and was keeping what had happened private, not even letting his own sister know.
"So" said Zoe smiling up at max "what can I really do for you?"
"Oh….em…I don't know" said max lying back
"Let me guess" said Zoe looking up at the celling "you hiding from noel so that he will have to do your half of the work"
"Ok, you've got me" said max smiling and sitting up slightly
Zoe smiled back knowing that noel was afraid of her because of the way she had acted out in reception and now noel would do anything she said, following it completely with no gossiping along the way.
"I have also come to make it up to you" said max smiling
Zoe raised her eyebrows but smiled as max produced a strong coffee and a bar of Cadburys chocolate.
Zoe took a sip of the coffee and set the chocolate bar to the side ready for later when she had mountains of paperwork too complete.
"So are we ok?" said max smiling "about the whole age situation"
"Yes" said Zoe smiling and nodding
"So I will never ask again?" said max smiling and raising an eyebrow
Zoe gave him a look that answered all his questions, max then stood up and walked towards the door smiling at how simple Zoe could be won over, by a coffee and chocolate.
"So…see you later?" asked max as he opened the door slightly
"Yea" said Zoe smiling and looking up from her computer screen
Max was outside the door and was about too close it until he was stopped by Zoe calling him back.
"By the way, I'm 37" called Zoe too max who immediately smiled
