Here’s the list of pending work. Also, the board approved the project, but we need the hard copy of the file by tomorrow.
Jace Bennett (ML)
Tch. That damn file [Runs a hand through his hair, frustrated.]
Elena Carter (FL)
[Rolling her eyes] I already said, I have it saved. You don’t have to be so dramatic
Jace Bennett (ML)
Dramatic? You gave an important file to the wrong person! You should be glad I’m not firing you
Elena Carter (FL)
[Muttering] Would’ve been a blessing at this point.
Jace Bennett (ML)
What was that?
Elena Carter (FL)
[Smiling sweetly] Nothing, sir!
Jace Bennett (ML)
Good. Since you love giving extra work to others, I’m giving some to you. Complete these documents before going home. [Drops a thick file on her desk.]
Elena Carter (FL)
Wait, what?! That’s so much!
Jace Bennett (ML)
Not my problem. [Smirks] Work hard, Ms. Carter. [Walks away]
