Zoe arrived 30 minutes before her shift was due, purely to give her some alone time in her office without the interference of Connie. Zoe walked up to the front desk with a coffee in one hand and a mountain of files in the other to collect her post from Noel.
"You're in early today Zoe." Noel said placing Zoe's mail on top of her files.
"You know the early bird catches the worm and all that, Noel." To which Noel laughed as in all of his time that he has known Zoe she had never been a morning person, always turning up late for shifts and most of the time still hung-over from the night before.
Zoe stood by her office door trying to figure out how she was going to type in the pass code whilst her hands were full. Despite there being plenty of other staff around, Zoe was never one to accept defeat so she bend down with her arm full of files and tried to type in the pass code but little did she know that Max was behind her the whole time watching her struggle to open the door. Zoe pressed the wrong button by mistake causing her to curse under her breath which sparked Max to laugh and go over to her.
"Having a bit of trouble are we Dr. Hanna?" He asked with a cheeky grin on his face.
"How long have you been watching me?" Zoe asked with a slight frown on her face.
"Long enough to know that you need help. Go on then, what is it?"
"There is no way I am giving you the pass code to my office. You can take these and I'll open the door." She said handing the files to Max whilst opening the door. She walked in and placed the coffee on her desk before turning on her computer and forgetting Max was there.
"Sorry, you can just leave them there thank you." She said as Max set the folders on the edge of her desk before walking out of her office and into the staffroom.
