"So, how long have you both been friends?" Eric asked both ladies in his usual quiet yet confident tone as he drove the car out of the company premises.

He had insisted he drove the car while Kimberly sat with him in the front since it would be awkward for either of the ladies to do the driving while he sat in the backseat comfortably.

"We have been friends for over ten years now, although we have known ourselves longer than that since my father used to work for her father," Prisca, who was seated in the backseat, explained, knowing fully well that Kimberly wasn't going to respond to the question. 

"Oh! That is cool," Eric said and settled into a comfortable silence as he drove the car.

Had he had enough money on him, he probably would have offered to take Kimberly out for dinner, but he had insisted they discuss at her home over dinner because he couldn't afford to take her out at the moment.
