- You took advantage of my absence and took over my job! -
- Yes, thanks to you I had twice as much work!
- You think I don't know! Every time there's a job you take a look! -
- You're the one who does things wrong! -
Snake stared at the inert numbers on his computer as his head made the voices turn to white noise.
You have to update this month's Accounts Receivable breakdown and report it to the Operations Department for calculations.
After printing and sending the data, his boss checked the numbers one by one, as if deliberately causing him problems.
He pointed to the data in the report and raised questions about each one.
Snake had no choice but to explain for two whole hours.
When he released him, lunchtime was almost over, and before he left, he also thoroughly criticized him for his work.
.
- You've only known him for a few hours and you're already giving him an affectionate nickname. -Claims the spider.
- It's not a nickname, it's because I don't know his name. -
- It doesn't matter, we've been friends for years and you don't even treat us with that much affection. -
Citrus the shark.
- Then I'll start calling you Shark. -
- I want a nickname too, a better one than Shark. -
- Hey! - Hey! - Hey!
- So you're... Webs. -
- I'm loving it! -
- Does that mean we can give you a nickname? -
The fish asks with a smile.
- No.
- Do you know anything else about him? -
Asks Webs searching the social networks.
- Searching every profile of a wolf is a pain. -
- I'm not gonna stalk him. -
- Again with that, I told you it's not stalking if he posts it on the internet. -
- It's scarier not to have social networks. -
- I'm sure that's why you can't get more friends. -
- I don't feel like explaining my name to the internet. -
His friends stare at him with a frown.
They are sitting here, doing their best not to let the conversation die, and his friend prefers to look at his cell phone.
- How much are you staring? -
Both necks stretch to see.
- I just answer the messages. -
W.
/ Hi. How's your friend /
.
S.
/ He looks like he needs a blood transfusion. /
- FYI; I didn't have time to touch up my makeup. -
The spider takes advantage of the oversight and slides the screen up.
- Hey! / Hey!
W.
/I think my coffee cup needs a coffee. /
.
S.
/ I think I got kicked out of the sky and now I'm half dead. /
.
W.
/ I'm going to steal that line from you. /
.
S.
/ You keep it, I stole it from a friend anyway. /
.
W.
/ I'm between eating macaroni and cheese or Ramen.
Which one do you think I should choose? /
.
S.
/ I prefer macaroni.
Now I want to eat macaroni and I don't have any.
:( /
Turn off the screen.
- You've been talking to him since morning. -
Says the tarantula proudly.
- And I had to wait two years for you to admit that we were friends. -
complains the shark.
Snake spits out a notebook and a pen, where he wrote;
I needed to know you weren't just another asshole in this company.
- Mmm I forgive you because it's a good reason. -
He does him the favor of tearing the note into pieces and pouring water on it.
- I know! Invite him to our book club. -Speaks the spider.
- Really? -
- That's a good idea! You've always had a good eye for people. -
Supports the shark as they pick up their trash to get back to work.
- Let's do it in that new coffee shop. -
Says the spider climbing up his friend's arm.
- All right, I'll ask him. -
S.
/ My friends and I are getting together for book club.
Do you want to join us? /
- By the way, I already sent the receipts. -
Mention the fish.
- I'll order them for you. -
- I'm working on it. -
Replies the snake letting her friend jump on her head.
Shark says goodbye and enters her apartment.
- I got complaints from the partners that the communication is too slow! -
They heard from the hallway.
- It's just that they always stop responding so . . . -
It's their friend's voice.
- I want you to call them and apologize! -
- He won't even let him talk. -
The spider mumbles angrily at the way his friend is being treated.
- I'd rather look on the bright side, and think he's admirable. -
- You!? Seeing the bright side? -
- Well we're not much different, are you still your boss's unpaid secretary? -
- You know I'm only doing it because I want to get promoted. -
She replies, feeling like she's been hit in the pride.
They both say goodbye as they arrive at Snake's apartment.
When he sees Webs disappearing down the hallway, he checks his cell phone once more.
S.
/ My friends and I are getting together for book club.
Do you want to join us? /
Still no answer.
Try to disperse that nervousness, it's just a friends outing, and it doesn't really matter if you decide not to come.
.
- Here, here, here, here and here. -
Point out the snake mercilessly on the spreadsheet.
- Everything is wrong, you have to correct it for today, you must have more ... -
The newcomer starts to cry.
- Snake! -shouts her boss angrily.
- I heard that he scolded her until he made her quit. -
- I was told he was rejected by her and did it to get revenge. -
- That sounds feasible, that guy looks like he's sexless. -
- I overheard him in the cafeteria and it looks like he got himself a younger boyfriend. -
Snake concentrates on his computer, ignoring the people passing by in the hallway to go home.
That group of office workers are obviously dressed upright, but what they say is simply not animalistic.
His stomach quivers.
S.
/ My friends and I are getting together for book club.
Would you like to join us? /
.
W.
/ Hahaha The closest I've ever been to a book club was watching it on TV.
I don't think it's my scene.
The last books I read were the Research books in college. /
.
S.
/ Ha. :)
It's really just an excuse to get together and talk about what we like.
You can talk about anything as long as it involves reading.
Then we're going to waste our time. /
.
W.
/ That sounds like me!
Can I bring a friend? /
The snake smiles.
