"And just imagine," Eva exclaimed, her face beaming with joy and excitement as she gesticulated animatedly and spoke without pause. "We hardly spoke at the office, and now Elektra and I are friends!" She turned to Elektra with admiration, but her expression quickly turned sour as she was met with a disapproving glare.
"My house is right here, just around the corner to the right," Elektra interjected hastily, eager to change the subject. "Thank you, Alex. You've been very helpful, and thanks for taking care of everything there... you know."
Their conversation had shifted outside, and Elektra had already retrieved her suitcase, shaking Alex's hand in a professional manner before bidding farewell to Eva and walking confidently towards her home.
"Alex, what am I doing wrong?" Eva asked, feeling hurt and offended by Elektra's reaction.
"I'm not one to judge," Alex replied with a shrug.
"Do you like me?"
"Well, you certainly meet deadlines," Alex laughed in response.
"What a jester," Eva laughed back, feeling grateful for the levity that Alex always brought to their conversations.
