Nayna pov

While typing on my laptop, I found my friend Daeun crossing by me. It's her third coffee of the day and its been only 12 noon. From her behavior I could understand that something was wrong because she seemed a bit down. Maybe it's related to her recent date. I don't know if it's a perfect time to ask her about this, but I couldn't control myself and my curious ass wanted to know her problem and help her.

I leaned towards her and said in a whisper making sure Mr. Jeon isn't out of his cabin because I already have the title of being a chatterbox and Mr. Jeon's rule breaker because some way Or the other I end up breaking the rules of the company and trust me it isn't intentional at all. I always get caught up in situations where I behave stupid and I tend to get zoned out easily.

Just few days before I sent him the mail of a client he rejected. I need to be very careful and calculative before I take any steps because I can't handle a dismissal and lately Mr. Jeon's favorite past time became firing employees. I don't want to be in that long list of ex-employees. Right now, I'm going to break one of the biggest and common rule, 'Maintain silence and do your work'.

"Hey Daeun, don't you think you're going to empty the coffee beans of our company within a day? "

She eyed me getting pissed off. I smiled at her cheekily as I said, "I mean you have been drinking coffee a lot. Is there something bothering you? "

She rolled her eyes while sighing and mumbled, "the date".

I clicked my fingers in victory as I already had the idea about it and I almost shouted, " Knew that", but sadly I gained few attention and Noah was already looking at me. When everyone had a alarming expressions on their faces warning me about my nosiness and loudness, there was Noah who was trying it hard to control his laugh. I ducked down and hid myself from all those judging faces and whispered, "what about you share those with me? Maybe I can help you with some weird quotes? "

She couldn't help but chuckle and I'm glad that I made her. I said, "so today's topic is about your date right!? "
I put forward something which was obvious. We always had topics to discuss during our lunch break and that's something which always kept us alive in this company. But trust me, Daeun and Noah are the best in gossiping because the faces they make while judging so hard is something which I can watch all day and laugh.

Sometimes I even had to remind them that we're at the office and the common topic of discussion was of course Mr. Jeon complaining about his rules, behaviour, attitude and what not. Sometimes I feel bad for being a listener and keeping shut do he deserve these and nicknames, maybe yes but sometimes nope, because he's the reason why our pockets clink whenever we search for some bills and coins.

After gathering our food, we sat across the small table and before digging in I glanced her face and I found a tint of sadness. I wanted to comfort her, so I slightly patted her back before saying, "it's okay, that guy wasn't meant for you and-"

Even before I completed, she interrupted as she said, "Nayna you're making it sound like I had a worst love rejection yesterday... I just want to hit the shit out of him because you know why, he asked me to visit the Penta stars hotel and we ordered the high cost cuisines. Even though my heart ached due to the price, I was feeling at ease thinking either he would pay or we can share the bill, but that fucking jerk.. He made me pay for the food that we ate and trust me it was higher than my home rent. I felt so dead because who the fuck will ask a girl to pay for the first dinner date, atleast that fucker could have shared the bill. I literally hate that guy and I swear I won't go for any dates. "

She said these in a single breathe and the way her face turned red due to the breathlessness made me fear that she might pass out. Of course it's something which was unexpected and as her friend I shouldn't be laughing at it, but me and Noah couldn't control that literally we had to muffle our laughs.
