CHAPTER SEVEN
"what part are you sorry for?" said Charlie " the part where you called her old, the part where you called her a slag or the part where you said you would rather sleep with a horse?"
Max never answered and went to walk away before Charlie stopped him.
"I love that girl" said Charlie
"so I heard" said Max
"she is like a daughter to me" admitted Charlie "so I don't like to see her hurt"
Max walked away with his hands in his pockets taking in what Charlie had said.
Charlie walked on into the office he shares with Tess and looked in the mirror at his soaking wet shirt.
"so who have you been rescuing today then, superman?" said Tess
"Zoe" said Charlie "but I wouldn't say rescue"
"Zoe did that?" said Tess pointing to the wet patch on Charlie's shirt
"yep"answered Charlie as he sat back in his chair
Charlie was about to tell Tess why but them figured that Zoe wouldn't want anyone else knowing her private life especially now unknown to her, Charlie had just found out about her and Max's relationship.
"I will go and see if she's ok" said Tess standing up
"no" said Charlie shaking his head "I think she just wants time alone"
Tess sat down and was about to get back to paperwork when there was a knock at the door and Max entered.
Tess and Charlie both looked up and saw the mark Zoe had left on his face.
"what happened to you?" said Tess
Max was about to say Zoe's name but he knew that would only start a whole fighting match because even though Zoe slapped him, he deserved it.
"your lucky I don't hit you" commented Charlie who was still looking down at his paperwork
"is there something that I'm missing here?"said Tess who felt like there was something that Charlie and Max weren't quite telling her
Max didn't want to be the one to answer Tess's question and Charlie didn't either, the last thing they wanted to do was to let anymore people find out about what's going on.
"I surgest you don't go near Zoe unless you want something more than a slap on the face" said Charlie "that girls been threw enough with out been called all the names under the sun"
"what the hells going on?" said Tess who was getting frustrated as no one was answering any of her questions
"look, I want to say sorry to Zoe but she's avoiding me" said Max
"I would be avoiding you if you talked to me like that" said Charlie
"I saw you two togeather in cubicals" said Max "I saw her crying and you telling her that you loved her"
Charlie looked down at this point as Tess looked at him.
Tess knew that if Zoe was crying it had to be bad but she didn't know the extent of it, either did the rest of the staff but they were soon going to find out.
"I didn't know me saying those stupid things would have such an effect on her" admitted Max
"you told her that you would rather sleep with a horse than a old aged moody slag consultant" said Charlie "and you expect her to take that well?"
"well after what she said to me, yes" said Max
"you know what" said Charlie sitting down "go and find Zoe and sort it out your selves, but if Zoe ever comes crying to me again then I will not leave a mark as faint as that"
Max slammed the door behind him and Tess turned to Charlie.
"are thoses two...?" asked Tess
Charlie sighed, he couldn't have another person knowing so he simply thought of an excuse.
"no" said Charlie "they had an argument, and I personally dont care what it was about"
"youth's waisted on the young" said Tess buying Charlie's lie
"that couldn't be more true" said Charlie turning back to his work.
