Shannon stopped in her tracks and snapped at me. "Who says I’m leaving? I’m just going to use the toilet."
She turned around and went into the bathroom after saying that, slamming the door shut.
Lally was dumbfounded and asked me, ' You know each other?”
I nodded. "We’re friends."
When Shannon came out of the toilet, she sat on the sofa and looked at us, saying," I've asked someone to bring us wine. Can you drink?”
"Of course.” Lally sat down and said breezily, "We'll drink till we drop today."
I asked with a smile, "Want to order some food to go with the wine?"
Shannon nodded. "We most certainly need t o order food. I'll ask them to serve it."
She looked at Cally and asked, "Are you
Jordan's assistant?"
"I'm a secretary."
I added, "One who does the job of an assistant."
Shannon understood and continued to ask, "Do you work closely with him?"
Cally coughed. “No, just normal work."
"What I mean is that you should know him really well, right?"
"Just average."
