Still working?

I sighed as I locked the computer.

It was a hectic day today. I was happy that I had almost completed the work. Only a few days were remaining, and I was confident that I would finish it off tomorrow morning. It would only take hardly ten minutes.

[Andrew- Still working?]

I smiled as I saw the chat. We have been having small chats since the afternoon. Although we were not on call all the way, or texting each other continuously we were still in touch. I touched my chin as I was deep in thoughts.

[Rosabel- Yes]

[Andrew- What is taking you so long? It's already too late. How are you planning to go home.]

I smiled as I looked at my side. How was I planning to? It was simple, I had my ride sitting right next to me looking sleepy and cursing in a low tone.

"Jane, how long till your work is finished?" I asked as I saw Jane get up in a hurry. Her sleepy eyes sparkled with relief.

"I am almost done. Just a few seconds." Jane said as she proceeded to shut down her computer. I wanted to laugh at her speed.

It was just during lunchtime that Jane was telling me how she had told off Ella and yet when she was about to get off work, her manager called for her with a smile on his face.

"Jane, we need this to be done soon. Can you wait and complete it for today? I remember telling you to complete it." It was then that I saw Ella walking past our place with a smile. There was a challenge in her eyes as she looked at Jane.

Jane might have seen it as she smiled. "I will work but only till Rosabel works. I hope it is okay, considering the fact that you are making me work without paying me extra time." Jane did not give her manager to say anything else as she took the file and started going to it, pretending to be busy.

I smiled as I saw Jane get up as she waited patiently for me.

[Rosabel- I have company. Your meeting is still going on, right? Take care and don't stay up longer.]

I shut the phone as I walked with Jane towards the elevator.

"So how was your work?" I asked Jane. I knew she wasn't working. Only going through pages and scrolling her pages down.

"What work? Ella just wanted to make a point. The file that the manager gave me was due last week and I had already submitted it." Jane said in an irritated tone.

"Then why did you wait?" I was confused. If that was the reason, Jane had the right to reject it but she just accepted it.

"Are you silly?" Jane looked at me with wide eyes. Her gaze screamed, 'how can you be such an idiot.' Jane shook her head as she continued. "I waited for you. Only a few colleagues are still in the company and I was worried about you."

I felt so emotional. We were new in the company. Who knew if we could stay together here or not and yet Jane gave so fun love away.

As soon as we walked out of the building, I got a call.

[Lucas.]

I shook my head as I was thinking whether to pick the call up or not. I shook my head as I decided to pick it up, maybe because Jane was looking at me in confusion as if asking me why wasn't I picking the call up.

"Hello," I said as I looked forward, making my legs stop.

"Hi," Lucas said in a small tone. It was an echo because the man was standing in front of me with a smile on his face. He kept the call as he walked towards me. I kept the phone as I looked at Jane who was smiling.

"Luca!" Jane shouted as she moved towards Lucas, making my eyes wide.

'They know each other.' I said in my mind. I did not know how to react anymore. Why were they so friendly.

"Hello, Jane, Rose," Lucas said as he moved his gaze from Jane towards me. "Let me drop you home."

I swallowed as I saw Jane smiling. "Only Rose?"

"You both know each other?" I was confused. I did not know what to think anymore. If Lucas knew Jane then that means Jane is super rich, she has to be.

Lucas himself came from a rich family and was friends with all the right people. "Yes," Jane said as she looked at Lucas, "He is my boyfriend's cousin," Jane said as she blinked. "But how do you know him?"

Jane asked but her eyes screamed that she already knew. I wanted to avoid it but I knew I had to reply, "He is my childhood friend."

Jane nodded but soon her boyfriend's voice came from the back who was calling her.

"So Rose, you won't mind going with Lucas right? You know each other." Jane smiled but she did not move. "Is it okay?"

I could tell with Jane's words that if I say no, then she would not leave me there with Lucas. But when I could see Jane's boyfriend waiting for her. They were both busy and I knew that I could not keep Jane waiting.

"No need. I can go with Lucas." I said with a smile.

Jane nodded as she blinked her eyes. She looked between me and Lucas as if she was feeling something unusual between us. Jane hugged me as she whispered in my ears softly, "call me once you reach home."

I nodded as I touched her shoulders. Jane smiled as she waved at Lucas walking towards her boyfriend's car. Until the car went away, I could see Jane looking at me.

Lucas was smiling as he looked at me, making me irritated. I took a step towards Lucas cars which I was well acquainted with. "Let's go."
