As they walked out together, nick looked over at her. She could feel his eyes on her yet she pretended to not notice him looking. Then, once again, he opened the door for her, chivalry, so maybe not all men were mean like her ex-husband.
How awkward this is Rachel thought.
"So, what do you do so well here?" Nick asked.
"Well I'm head of the development section of this company, what do you do?"
"I'm supposed to be a junior head of development"
"What? Sorry but I thought Karen had that job" Rachel was shocked.
"I think she was transferred to another department" He said with a grin on his face.
"Geez, I'm so glad I was informed of this change"
"Umm, it's ok, I think"
The awkward silence continued until he opened the door again for her. They both stopped quickly because Claire was right in front of them, waiting for Rachel.
"Carl rang, he said don't forget, NO work yet and he hopes you are getting on together".
"Yes I know, no work and I think that nick and I are getting on fine".
"Yeah, I agree" Nick added, Both Claire and Rachel looked at him.
"Sorry, I'll stay out" Nick said looking a bit embarrassed.
"It's ok Nick" Rachel said to him, then she turned to speak to Claire.
"I will come back soon to talk to you, I just have to show him a few more things, because I'm his mentor for the rest of the week"
"Ohh, Sorry Rachel, I didn't realize, I'll come and see you soon" Claire said quickly looking between both Rachel and Nick. Rachel smiled to both of them then started to walk with Nick following closely behind her.
Oh no, is he watching my bum shake?
Why do I keep thinking these things? Silly voices. I really have to stop thinking these things. She was so busy thinking about her bum that she didn't notice Nick come beside her and look at her face.
"What are you thinking about?" Nick asked as they walked into the lunch room.
"Ohh, umm, just where I should take you" She replied
What a stupid answer.
I agree.
Why are you agreeing with yourself?
Not sure. She looked over at Nick and realized that he probably didn't believe her.
"Ohh, so where are we now?" He asked sarcastically.
"Well, the lunch room" Rachel said
"It's not that bad, you even have a vending machine, that's a good idea"
"Yes, it's wonderful when nothing comes out, so now I don't use it" Rachel aid with the anger starting to come back, the effects of the chocolate wearing off.
"I think that we should keep moving, I'll show you the toilets, and then we can go upstairs if you like" She asked him, walking out of the lunch room.
