Chapter 20

"How do you think she is doing?" John asked as they watched her on the computer screen while she typed away at her desk.

"She almost looks relaxed," Gabriel shook his head and smirked.

"Well, this is something she is comfortable with," Jason shrugged, "It's normal for her, so can it really be that surprising that she takes comfort in being here?"

"I guess not," Gabriel chuckled.

"Maybe it will push her to gain some of her feisty strength back as well," John said softly watching her answer the phone.

"We can hope," Jason nodded.

"You fucking idiot!" She screeched and they looked up to see her standing with the phone on her ear. "You are a goddamn fool if you think sending your machine out into the ocean once a month will make the slightest dent in the waste production that is out there compared to ours going out there two or three times a week. Like me ask you something you dense nimrod, what are you going to do with the waste your machine with gather? What is your solution to the dumps that are already overfilled?" She scoffed and shook her head, "You have no idea? So, you mean to tell me that you plan on gathering up the trash in the ocean and just dump them into the dumps that are already full? You called to brag on your product just because my bosses were out of touch for a few months and you just heard they were back in tell. Well brag all you want right now because once we release ours with our other plans to help the environment yours will fail in less then three months, bet. And when I win this bet you will lose your company and I will be there to watch as you lose everything. Yeah, watch me." She slammed her phone down and sighed in irritation.

"Everything okay, Sweetheart?" John asked with a smirk on his face.

She sighed again and looked down at her desk, missing Jason and Gabriel's smirks as well. "I'm sorry Sir, they just are so stupid."

"We know, Mi Amor," Gabriel smiled. "We were just glad to see some of your spunk come back."

"I wasn't unprofessional?" She asked nervously.

"You were," Jason nodded then tilted her head up to look at them. "But we loved it. You put them exactly in their place. I really loved how you said you will watch them lose everything. That was spectacular, Luv."

"I'm sorry so I was unprofessional," She sat back down at her desk.

"Hey Sweetheart," John said moving her chair back and kneeling in front of her. "You did nothing wrong. Do you hear me?"

"I hear you," she whispered. "I just don't know what came over me, they just kept bragging and it pissed me off and I lost control."

"Well keep doing it," he said holding her chin in his hand so she had to look at him. "We miss seeing that spark in you. It shows you care about our company and about us. That fire in you is a passion we love seeing, so keep doing it, okay?"

"Okay," She nodded nervously. "Um....I need to get back to work. It looks like nothing was done while I was gone so I have a ton of catching up to do."

"That's because we told everyone not to touch your stuff Mi Amor," Gabriel smirked at her shocked reaction. "We know how particular you are about your system so we told them to just email everything to you and you will get to it when you can. We didn't want anyone to try and do something and then end up messes everything up."

"Oh, thank you," she whispered. "Can I get back to work now please?"

"Yes," John said standing back up. "But take breaks when you need to, not everything has to be caught up today, do you understand?"

"Yes Sir," She nodded absentmindedly but they knew she wasn't really listening.

"That was something to see," Jason smirked as they headed back into his office.

"It was fucking beautiful," Gabriel nodded. "Now to get her to be like that all the time."

"She will soon," John said watching her as she rolled her eyes at something on the screen.

"She's not going to stop to eat," Jason said shaking his head. "We will have to put our foot down about it, you know that right?"

"Yep," Gabriel nodded. "She is going to try and stay late as well to try and get as much done as possible. How much do you want to bet she will?"

"Hey Henry?" She called out and Henry stepped off the elevator causing her to look at him shocked as he placed her favorite coffee and a pair of headphones onto her desk. "How did?"

"Every time you stay late you ask me to get you a caramel iced coffee and you bring your headphones to listen to music. You forgot them on the table by the door this morning Ma'am," He said casually.

"Thank you, Henry," She beamed and he nodded then stepped away.

John, Jason, and Gabriel shook their heads then decided to actually get some of their work done.
