Woman 1 gasped. “Do you think…?”
Woman 2 laughed. “Uh, yeah. They’re both definitely the type for something like that.”
The women left and I came out of the stall, smiling. Those two were absolutely having an affair, I was surprised I hadn’t guessed that already about them.
Now to just catch them in the act.
The next morning, the office had a completely different vibe than the day before.
At least for me.
I entered the office smiling and greeting everyone as I passed by them on my way to my desk. I carried a small succulent with me; my desk could use a new plant, I had decided on my way home the night before. Especially since I wouldn’t be going anywhere.
I noticed Elena watching my every move from her desk. She furrowed her brows. “What are you so happy about?” She finally yelled at me from across the room.
“It’s just a beautiful day, that’s all,” I smiled at her. I set my stuff on my desk and carefully pulled an envelope from my purse.
Elena got up from her desk and headed towards the bathroom. I followed her. As I stepped through the bathroom door, I saw Elena standing at the mirror, applying some lipstick.
My heart started pounding, suddenly nervous about what I was about to do.
“Hey Elena, what are you doing?” I asked cautiously.
“Solving world peace,” Elena said, rolling her eyes. “I’m putting lipstick on, what does it look like?”
“For anyone in particular?” I asked. I opened the envelope I held.
“Why are you being extra weird today?” Her eyes landed on the envelope. “What’s that?”
