Just Coincidence

Melody PoV

"So, I have a crush on Mr Tristan!" Sophie deadpans. I and Karina whipped our head at Sophie's direction, and she only shrugged. We were all in my office, enjoying our lunch break. Well, since Tristan was out throughout the remaining day, we can as well enjoy the freedom.

"Since when?" Karina asked, since my mouth was stuffed with Burger.

"Since forever. I mean, Mel how the hell do you work with him without wanting to smash his lips with yours? And don't get me started with those abs of his." Sophie said dreamily.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked, because I don't think she's serious.

"Oh please, every single lady including some married ones all have a crush on him, including you of course." Sophie said matter-of-fact.

"Don't speak for everyone Soph, surely I and Karina don't give a shit, Kari?" I turned to look at Karina, who surprisingly has the same dreamy look.

"You have got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed, looking at my two friends with what I hope is a strong glare.

"I mean, he's a Greek god. And he doesn't even know how good he looks. He beat all those Calvin Klein's model to shame. Big time." Karina, fanned.

"His bad, snobbish behavior added right?"

Traitor! He talked civilly at you today.

"That even compliments his hot nature." Sophie added.

"I wish you were his assistant instead, then you would understand what I mean." I muttered, taking a big gulp of my chilled soda.

"So you are trying to tell us that you feel little or no attraction for Tristan?" Karina asked, raising her trimmed eyebrow up.

Lie all you want, Mell love.

"Can we please stop talking about our boss, and enjoy this little freedom I've got?" I requested, hoping they will just shift the topic of Tristan to the gutters.

"If you say so. But I still think that you feel attracted to him, unless you're a lesbian which of course you aren't. Right?" Sophie asked, widening her eyes, and waiting

I think she saw the look of disbelief and scorn on my face, since she quickly changed to." Maybe not."

"Oh My Gosh!" Karina suddenly exclaimed, eyes glaring at the screen of her phone. "That red haired bitch! She humiliated our boss" she said, nearly dropping the phone on the floor at the attempt of giving it to Sophie.

Uh...ok. They've found out about Miss Price. And I'm gonna pretend I don't know about it.

"Wait! Tristan announced that he has a beauty waiting for him at home? He has a girlfriend?! Melody!"

"Why the hell are you yelling my name? Am I his hidden girlfriend?" I glared at Sophie whose eyes were already on mine.

"Why didn't you tell us? Surely you've since him with his girlfriend once or twice?" Karina reasoned, her beautiful face frowning.

"Are you guys seriously gonna do this? I'm as shocked as the both of you, and besides he deserves a girlfriend. Hasn't he been a playboy for too long?" I retorted carefully, so they won't bite off my ears.

"Yeah right! That girl must be some lucky bitch. She will probably be as beautiful as a mermaid if Almighty Tristan decided to settle down and give their relationship a name!" Sophie said thoughtfully.
