Two weeks was a very short time for some and a very long time for others. For Edward, he didn't know to call it long or short. While he was finding it incredibly short because of his lack of progress trying to get enough dirt on the Anastasia family, he was finding it long from his time away from Scarlet.
"Work came first," he reminded himself as he fixed yet another stupid minor problem on some admin girl's desktop. This was the third time she had called him that week and Edward hated her.
The girl was obviously not an idiot and the attempt to strike up a conversation to invite him out was a very glaring attempt at trying to flirt. Edward didn't like her for obvious reasons. He already told her that he had a girlfriend but this dumb chick didn't take a hint and continued to doll herself up, each time with thicker make-up and perfume than before.
