That Night

Juliet
It's already time to go so I'm organizing the last files.

Mason : Juliet?
Juliet : Yes boss?
Mason : Can I take you out for dinner?
Juliet : No I don't have time.
Mason : You have time for Carter but not for me?
Juliet : Carter is my friend.
Mason : And I'm not?
Juliet : You're my boss.
Mason : Juliet-
Juliet : Goodnight boss.

Juliet
I grabbed my purse and walked away but he followed me.

Mason : Why are you pushing me away?
Juliet : What do you mean?

Juliet
I got into the elevator hoping he'd leave me alone but nope. He followed me in.

Mason : Can we talk?
Juliet : There's nothing to talk about.
Mason : Let me take you out for dinner.
Juliet : I'm telling you I don't have time. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone else though! Like that blonde from earlier.

Juliet
I got out of the elevator and walked outside trying to get this man off my back.

Mason : Juliet wait!
Juliet : ...
Mason : If you don't want to go out for dinner then fine! Let's talk here.
Juliet : There's nothing to talk about.
Mason : The blonde you saw is nothing more than just a friend. I've never had anything with her
Juliet : Says the player.
Mason : Juliet...
Juliet : I'm not your fiancée. You don't owe me the explanations.
Mason : I wanted you to know.
Juliet : Goodnight boss.
Mason : I like you Juliet.

Juliet
I started to walk away but stopped once I heard his final sentence.

Juliet : You like everyone.

Juliet
And with that, I walked away and got in my car.

Eliza : What are you doing?
Alize : -gasp- You scared me Eliza!!
Eliza : Are you spying on them?
Alize : No! They were kinda arguing and I didn't want to pass by...
Eliza : Oh......okay.

Eliza
Suspicious but okay.

The Next Day
T U E S D A Y
Naveda Fields Company

Eliza : Juliet, let's talk in the restroom real quick.
Juliet : Sure?

Juliet
I put down the files I was working on and followed her to the restroom.

Juliet : What happened?
Eliza : You and I are friends. You know that right? You can trust me.
Juliet : Yes
Eliza : Tell me, what's going on between you and Mason?
Juliet : Nothing
Ekiza : Are you sure? I'm pretty sure little miss Ava sent Alize to spy on you two.
Juliet : What?
Eliza : I saw her watching you two outside.
Juliet : We were just talking.
Eliza : But they think something is going on there.
Juliet : ...
Eliza : Nothing?
Juliet : ......We only kissed once but that's it.
Eliza : Juliet! I warned you. Don't get involved with him because you're only going to hurt in the end!
Juliet : I know! Trust me, I'm doing everything to keep him away from me.
Eliza : So that's why you're going out with Carter?
Juliet : In a way, yes.
Eliza : Well then.
Juliet : ...
Eliza : Just be careful Juliet...
Juliet : I will......thank you.

Mason : What are you doing here?
Carter : This is also my company. Just because you're the "CEO" doesn't mean you have full control of it.
Mason : I just want to know why you're here.
Carter : I'm here to see Juliet.
Mason : Stop distracting my secretary.
Carter : Jealous?
Eliza : Good morning!
Mason : Stop distracting my secretary.
Eliza : Sorry! I just had something to tell her real quick. Bye! -walks away-
Carter : These flowers are for you.
Juliet : Aw thank you Carter.
Mason : They're ugly!
Carter : No one is asking you.
Juliet : Sunflowers are actually my favorite.
Carter : Bet you didn't know that.
Mason : Bring the reports to my office. -walks away-
Juliet : Okay.
Carter : I'll let you work beautiful.
Juliet : -smile- Thank you.
