Chapter 50:

Zoe and Max finally reached reception and Noel and Louise were inundated with paperwork as the hospital system had been down due to the power cut. Zoe handed Louise another file to which she simply threw on top of the mountain she already had and Zoe simply rested her head on the desk.

"So, you two stuck in a lift together eh?" Noel said not taking his eye off of his work.

"Yeah, lucky me." Max replied in a sarcastic tone trying to hide the relationship between them.

"Oi. I may be tired but I can still make your life hell." Zoe replied slightly lifting her head of the desk to answer and then she placed it back.

"How could you not enjoy being stuck in a lift with the charming Dr. Hanna?" Max asked Noel in a joking manner.

"You are lucky I have no energy left but tomorrow be prepared." Zoe replied not moving her head this time.

"Someone needs to go home." Louise said noticing Zoe's lack of energy to fight Max back and Zoe nodded in agreement.

"Well I do feel for you Zoe. Being stuck with Max for an hour is enough to last you a life time." Louise replied causing Max to pull an over exaggerated shocked face.

"That Louise is very true." Zoe replied looking up and smiling.

"I bet my girlfriend doesn't feel like that." Max said returning the smile to Zoe.

"How do you know? Maybe she does and you just don't know." Zoe said picking up a file and helping with the paperwork in order to hide the smile that had appeared on her face.

"Well my girlfriend and I have a very close relationship, especially in the bedroom." Max said winking at Noel who nodded in approval.

"That is far too much information." Louise replied.

"Well it silenced Zoe." Noel said.

"Oh Noel, it is probably because she is jealous that I am a taken man now and am no longer available. It's obvious that she secretly wants me."

"Oh yes Max that will definitely be the reason. I mean how could I resist?" She said walking over and getting extremely close to him.

"That's the problem... I am irresistible." Max said as he pursed his lips together in an attempt to kiss Zoe but she simply put her fingers to his lips and began to walk away, grabbing her bag and phone from the front desk as she sweeped towards the exit, winking back at the three of them.

"Oh Max, I think you'll find it's me that is irresistible. Don't worry we won't tell your girlfriend." Zoe said with a huge smile on her face as pushed the double doors of the ED entrance and disappearing into the night leaving Louise and Noel to erupt into fits of laughter.

"Very funny guys... Very funny." Max said thinking of a way to get her back but then he swiftly ran after her so that he could get a lift home.
