Zoe walked into the ED only to hear Connie shouting at someone from inside the office they shared; the door was closed but she could hear Connie's voice clearly, so could all the other staff who were hanging about reception because they were all looking in the direction of the office and visibly squirming.

So help whoever that is Zoe thought as she headed over to Louise.

"Who's that?" Zoe said, indicating to the closed-door.

"Max"

"I should have known" Zoe said with a small chuckle "What's he done now?"

"Oh..." Louise trailed off as she started to move around the reception area, busying herself with some work.

"Louise" Zoe sigh "What did he do?"

"Well, he kind of kissed Connie" Louise answered sheepishly as the shouting from the office continued.

"WHAT" Zoe shouted.

"Yeah, it was only on the cheek, but still..." Louise said as she glancing awkwardly at the closed-door where Connie was still shouting at Max "Let's just say Connie was not happy"

"It's unprofessional" Zoe said.

"Oh come on, you have to admit Max is hot" Louise said as a small blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Hmm" Zoe replied as her mind wondered to what Connie was doing to poor Max; yes it was unprofessional but still, Connie had quite the wrath and even she didn't want to be on the receiving end of it; once was enough thank you very much.

She decided to go into the office and save Max from the devil in disguise as she liked to call her.

Walking into the office she cut Connie off "Okay, I think he's got it, he won't do it again" she said looking at Connie who was fuming "Right Max?" Zoe asked raising her eyebrow at him.

"Right" He confirmed with a slight grin on his face.

Connie just huffed and walked out of the office, stopping in her tracks as she heard Max mutter something that she didn't quite catch.

"What was that?" Connie turned and stared at Max which caused him to cower slightly.

"I said I was sorry and it won't happen again" Max said to an unconvinced Connie as she left the office, slamming the door behind her.

Zoe leant over her desk to get something as Max started admiring the view.

Zoe turned around catching Max looking at her and she smirked to herself.

"Um, yeah..." he scratched the back of his head "I best get back to work"

Max turned to walk past Zoe but she grabbed his arm "Not so fast"

"You are so Jealous" Max said as he stared at her hand on his arm.

"As if" Zoe said as she let go off his arm allowing him to walk out of the office, but he just stood there.

"Haven't you got work to be getting on with?"

"Come on, you know you want to kiss me, I won't tell anyone, it can be our little secret" Max said wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"Max, stop it, just get out of my office" she whispered to him, getting that feeling in her stomach again "NOW" she shouted; she was not going to give him the satisfaction.

"Fine, see you around gorgeous" Max winked at her before walking out of the door and going back to work.

Zoe stood in the middle of her and Connie's office; she was not weak, but somehow Max Walker had gotten under her skin.

Letting out a frustrated sign she sat down and slammed her bag on the table just as Tess walked in.

"Are you okay?" she asked Zoe.

"I'm fine, you know just a lot of admin to get through" Zoe told her.

"Well, maybe this will help" Tess said as she put a coffee on her desk for her.

"Thank you" she said "Urgh, I hate admin"

Tess smiled sympathetically seeing all that she had to get through.

"Well I best be off" Tess said walking to the door; she could she how stressed Zoe seemed so she decided to leave her alone.

"Thanks for the coffee" Zoe smiled as she watched Tess leave.

Zoe was about halfway through her admin when she heard the familiar voice that drove her crazy, in both a good and bad way.

Storming out of her office she saw Max on the floor hiding behind the reception desk.

"Max" she shouted "What are you doing?"

"Urm... I'm just looking for something, I dropped my pen" Max said causing Louise to shake her head thinking how pathetic his excuses were.

"Do you ever get any work done?" Zoe asked as she rolled her eyes.

"Of course I do, everyone loves me" he grinned as he stood up hoping Big Mac wouldn't see him as he was moaning at Max for not taking his porter's job seriously enough.

"Just get back to work" Zoe replied rolling her eyes at him before walking away "I'm sure there are some patients that need moving somewhere"

"You would think so wouldn't you?" Max shouted after her causing a smile to creep onto her lips.

Max spotted Big Mac and quickly walked off in a different direction not wanting to listen to anymore of his moaning; he was the porter now, not him!
