Phone Call
Pam was currently sitting at her desk attempting to do some work when she got a phone call.
She picked up and said," Dunder Mifflin this is Pam. Yes… I'm that Pam, who is this? I… what? I honestly don't know what you're implying or think I am. What! No, we're not… he was helping me out… we're just friends. I have no feelings for him. Yes I will admit he's kinda cute. But..."
Everyone by now was watching in interest, and slight concern. Whatever it was, Pam looked like she was offended, shocked and confused. Pam then placed her hand on the phone and said.
"Lincoln, call for you."
Lincoln got up from his desk, went to the phone and said," This is Lincoln Loud… wait, Lola is that you? What are you guys talking about? No I didn't break up with Ronnie Anne. Who gave you the idea I was dating her? Leni, I sent you those pictures to help her find a new look, I was doing something for a friend… it's my business on who I do and don't date, and I'm not dating Pam. Hang on for a moment, I need to go to a different room."
Lincoln placed the phone on hold, and Lincoln speed walked to the conference room, locked the door, and closed the blinds.
Michael, who had gotten out of his office to see what was going on, was motioning for everyone to head to the phone. And for Pam to hit the speaker function.
Pam did so, and everyone else crowded around to hear. The voice they heard was now Ronnie Anne's.
"- Look you guys, Lincoln and I didn't break up. And who cares if we did do that? We're adults and we can make our own decisions."
"It might deharmonize the balance of the family, and also the marriage of Lori and Bobby." Lisa said.
"That is literally the stupidest thing I've heard! I can't believe you all would do this! We didn't force Lincoln to date Ronnie Anne. And Pam is a very nice person, when Bobby, I and Logan visited Lincoln. If Lincoln wants to date her, then let him." Lori said.
"For Pete's sake! I don't like Pam that way! Also for your guy's information, you kept meddling about what was going on between Ronnie Anne and me when we were growing up!" Lincoln said.
"And look where it brought you guys. Your guy's relationship sure did grow up! Get it?" Luan said.
Everyone groaned, with Ronnie Anne saying," Look, all Lincoln did was help someone. I mean, she did call off her own wedding, left her fiancée, and wanted to change herself. And we all know how big of a heart lame-o has, so we all knew he wanted to help."
"So like, I thought I heard and saw the wrong thing?" Leni said.
"Pretty much, sis." Luna said.
The entire argument looked to be simmering down, but Pam had already turned off the speaker function. And if you looked at her, her face was rosy from embarrassment.
Before anyone could tell her to turn it back on, everyone heard Lincoln talking as if he was hanging up, and they all jogged back to their seats, and pretended to do work. By that time, Lincoln, who had a really annoyed look, grumbled something as he got back to his seat.
He rubbed his hands on his temples, which meant he probably had a headache.
Everyone glanced at him, and Pam was still looking embarrassed, and she was looking down. Micheal got out of his office, and went to Lincoln.
"Hey Lincoln."
"Yes, Micheal?"
"I just want to you to know you have my permission."
Lincoln looked up, and had confused look and said," Permission for that?"
Michael grinned, patted him on the shoulder and said," Why to date Pam! I commend you for hitting that, even though the slight age difference. And don't listen to your family, you can make your decisions. And this is a good one."
Lincoln's response was to have his head in his hands, and let out a long curse of him saying f*ck, and also a few other colorful words.
If the documentary had aired that part, then the viewers would have heard a long bleep.
Lincoln was then in the interview room, he had a faraway look, and said," When did my life come to this?"
