68 Extra: Summers Stories #3 - Invitation (1/2)

In a crowded hallway came a woman running while carrying a stack of papers.

Suddenly a man came walking out of a room, bumping into her.

As she fell, papers went flying everywhere.

”What's the big idea!?” The man cried.

”S-sorry...” The woman whispered.

”Damnit, now I've got coffee all over my top!” He grumbled.

”H-here...” The woman began, as she pulled a handkerchief out from her pocket.

”Will this do?” She asked, extending her arm.

The man swatted the handkerchief away angrily.

”Hell no!” He cried.

”This stain ain't gonna come out!” He shouted, readying himself to stand up.

”Goddamn lowly interns...” He grumbled, as he walked away.

The woman stared for a minute as he walked away, then looked down in shame.

”Janine!”

”Hey, Janine?” A voice called out.

The woman quickly turned her head at the mention of her name.

”I was just wondering...” A lady began.

”Do y'wanna...get coffee together or somethin' maybe...?” She blushed.

Janine's eyes twinkled. Just as she was about to give an answer, a door behind them opened.

”Absolutely not.” A man answered.

Janine's eyes widened.

”Janine has to work overtime for the property she damaged earlier.” The man narrowed his eyes.

”Besides, she'll probably just spill it on you.” The man laughed, closing the door.
