Deandra watched Andre drive off after dropping her at work, before recovering and turning to walk into the giant edifice called her office. She knew by now Chloe will be at work and ready to tear her ears down after avoiding her calls all through yesterday.

"Dee!" Chloe screamed from her cubicle when she emerged from the elevator and walked towards her.

"Chloe! Tone it down!"

"Sorry, Mr Flinch..." Appealed, Chloe sharing a look with Deandra hence bending to howl with laughter below her cubicle.

"Not today, Chloe, I'm officially deregistering myself from being accomplice to your mischief." Dee fell into her seat and swivelled around, her eyes nearly popping out when they landed on the table where a bunch of red roses were seated on top of her desk in a well-packaged brown wrapper.
