When trust is questioned
Chapter 4
later...
Angela is still working on a few drafts. It heads at the door. "Yes please".
Roger comes in "So, boss, I'm done so far, how about you, are you making good progress?"
Angela looks at him tiredly, "yes, that's all, I still have a little work to do here. You're welcome to call it a day for today!"
Roger walks closer to hers, watching her sort and check the designs. He walks behind her, bends over slightly and looks over her shoulder. She can literally feel his body heat and looks up at him questioningly. She then turns slightly to him and raises her eyebrow slightly. "Yes, excuse me... What's going on?"
"There's a little misspelling, look - right here" He points to it with his finger, his arm reaching directly over her shoulder and touching her.
"Otherwise, the designs are very well done!" He backs away slightly.
Angela corrects the mistake and gets up quickly to make room for herself, because she needs air. She feels a kind of attraction but wants to remain professional and prefer to keep her distance. "May I ask". "Of course," Roger replies and moves aside.
Angela puts the designs on the shelf. "Is there anything else, Roger?"
"No, no, nothing". A mischievous smile crosses his face.
"Good, then please call it a day!"
He looks at her with a piercing gaze, "Do you want me to take you home again?"
"No, I need a little more here, thank you".
He nods. It disapproves of him.
Angela sits down again at her desk, digging through her documents.
Roger takes the chance to look at her again from top to bottom. ... Such an unbelievably beautiful face... those eyes... this mouth... She has an incredible figure! Those legs...
I have to get closer to her somehow, I want her...
He slowly walks backwards out of the room and then politely says goodbye. Angela looks after him for a moment and then goes back to her work.
Roger picks up his things and leaves the building. Someone comes towards him at the door.
It's Tony. "Can I help you?" asks Roger.
Tony laughs "All right, I'm Tony, I just want to bring Angela my special lasagna ala Tony. You must be Roger...?!"
"Roger Stanton, that's right, that's me, Angela's new colleague... um, I don't think you shouldn't disturb her work now, she's still busy!"
"Hey oh, oh he, we're good friends, Angela doesn't mind at all, quite the opposite!" Tony grins and looks at Roger. ... a handsome guy, looks a bit like a paint monkey... humph... Ripper type.
Roger does the same and looks at Tony .. who does he think he is ? He just shows up here, doesn't he have anything to do? what does he want from Angela. Really disturbing…
Roger holds his head higher, slightly arrogantly he says to Tony: "ok... yes, she's in her office, at her desk!"
Tony grins again - "I know!"
Roger turns around and walks over to his car.
... Weird guy... Tony thinks and goes inside.
In Agela's office
There is a knock on her door, Angela looks annoyed "Roger, please call it a day!" she shouts louder.
The door opens, "oh sorry, no Roger, It`s me, Tony, I'm just bringing you the food," he literally sings.
"Oh Tony!" Angela shouts in a high-pitched voice and is very happy, jumps out of her chair and quickly walks over to him.
She takes a quick look at what he has in the bag he is holding. "Oh Tony, that smells delicious!"
"Lasagna ala Tony, hehe" .
Angela smiles at him in love "thank you, dear of you, what would I do without you!"
"starve" Tony laughs.
"I'd be happy to do that, I thought I'd better bring it to you today before it gets so late again, you have to eat".
"You're right, Tony," she replies.
A short time later, they eat together.
..."Angela?"
"yes Tony, what's wrong?"
"Tell me, what kind of guy is Roger?"
"Excuse me, what do you mean?"
Angela looks at Tony, confused.
"Well, what's he like? How would he like to be? Is he nice? How does he work, and so on?" Tony's face is quite serious.
"Tony, that's a lot of questions ,he is a good colleague who does a really good job and is hardworking, very polite and courteous..." She looks down , she can't look Tony in the eye.
"OK, Angela... But if there's anything, please tell me, that's what best friends are for, after all!"
"Oh Tony, what's the matter, don't worry, it's all fine, really." ... I don't want to tell Tony HOW accommodating Roger is, after all, nothing wild happened... He's just worrying about restless thoughts...
Tony looks at Angela suspiciously..." hm Ok"...
. When they have packed everything up again, they drive home together.
