Unedited update. Ah, the joys of Daniel and Jasmine.
~*~*~
<<Hey, bitch!>>
"Ah, I see that Daniel has picked you up. Does he know that you're using his phone?"
<<I'm coming over the bluetooth in his car. I thought you said that the guy doesn't drive.>>
"I drive. I just don't like driving."
<<Was I talking to you? No, exactly! Now, Sophie... a little warning about my chauffeur would have been good. If I'd known dickwad here was picking me up, I would have organised my own driver.>>
"There's nothing wrong with Daniel driving you."
<<Have you ever been in the car with him?Sweetheart, it's like my grandma is driving.>>
"I'm doing the speed limit, Jasmine."
<<Oh, I know.>>
"Wait a second, you're still in the car?"
"Yes."
"Why? Jasmine's flight was arriving at eight and it's now just past ten. What's going on?"
"Ask Jasmine."
"Jasmine?"
<<Oh, you know...>>
"She purposely delayed her flight so that I'd have to wait an hour and a half for her in an airport in the middle of fucking nowhere!"
"Jasmine?"
<<I didn't purpose delay the flight.>>
"Jasmine."
<<What? I didn't.>>
"That doesn't sound convincing at all."
<<Was I explaining myself to you? No, now butt out.>>
"Well, you're hijacking my conversation with Sophie so I think I will butt in. And I'm the one that waited an hour and a half for you, so I think you do owe me an explanation."
<<You're shit outta luck, Danny.>>
"How many times?! Don't call me that!"
<<Oh, pipe down. Gee, you're so touchy.>>
"I wonder why!"
<<I have no idea what Sophie sees in you.>>
"I have no idea what she sees in you."
"You two know I'm still here right?"
<<I happen to be the best assistant she's ever had.>>#
"Well, I happen to be... to be..."
<<The jerk who broke her heart and made her cry for a weekend straight? Yeah, I'd agree with that.>>
"..."
"Well, I don't know about you, but this has been sufficiently awkward. So, you two enjoy the drive into London and I'll speak to you both- individually- tomorrow. Good night."
[Sophie disconnects from the call]
<<Well, look what you did now.>>
"No, that was all you."
<<Was not!>>
"Was too."
<<Was not!>>
