She opened the door.
"Jake?!"
she exclaimed shockingly.
What was he doing here?
"Maria!"
Jake greeted her happily.
She opened the door wider to let him in.
Jake stepped in and greeted Tobias with their bro thingy style.
"what are you doing here?"
Tobias asked seriously.
"to visit Maria."
"Miss Ho was not accepting visitor's during work hour."
he was exuding a cold aura. He was different from the childish person earlier.
"I'm just joking! I have something to talk to you, so I take this chance to see her"
Jake explained and took a glance towards Maria.
"let's go to my office then"
Tobias called Jake, taking his attention away from Maria.
"okay"
"miss Ho, make sure to finished your work, I need it soon."
Tobias give her a serious looked before he turned around to his office.
Maria just nodded and kept her mouth shut.
She decided to do her work and decided to finished it.
After a while, both Tobias and Jake went out.
As usual, Jake wore his smiling face, while Tobias wore a serious mask.
"Maria I need to go."
Jake bid his goodbye and smiled at her intensely.
"okay"
She just smiled at him politely.
"I'll walked you to the door."
Tobias interrupted their conversation.
Maria continue on her work. She was going to ignore Tobias. She felt something was going on with him.
Her assumption was being trued when Tobias came to her table once more and raining her questions.
"I thought you're not friends?"
he started. She glued her eyes on the computer screen.
"yes we're not."
"really? Then why we're you in a first name basis?!"
he was really furious. He wanted to slam all the things on her table. Tobias grip hard on the table.
"it's just came out naturally, but we're not friends yet.
"so you have plans to being friends with him?!"
he was really mad.
"I thought you promised me that...."
"would you please stop!"
she shouted irritatedly.
Tobias was caught off guard. He became silent.
"I never said I'll be friends with him! You have my words, but let us clear things! Would you please not interfere with my personal life?! I never interfered with yours! Do you think its fair that you forbid me from doing things? I never forbid you!"
She was so mad that she wanted to punch his face!
"why were you so angry that I talked with Jake?! Did I get mad and confronted you because you talked with Charlotte?! That you did things inside your office?! Huh?! Did you heard anything from me?!"
Maria stopped, she think that she said was over the line. But she's mad!
Tobias was stunned by her words and rooted on his spot.
Did he really became possessive with her?
He never thought Maria would be this straightforward to slap him in the face!
She's right, he wanted her but he kept Charlotte.
Tobias didn't think about it, but this time he knew what she felt!
He was really being unfair!
Tobias treat her like an innocent lady, it came to his mind that, what would Maria think if him and Charlotte would stay long inside his office. But he brushed it off.
It turned out that he never respected her.
"you were banging Charlotte with all your might, and you still have the guts to forbid me from talking to a man?!"
