"You're screwing with me," Linus said, somewhat annoyed.
"No. It's the same apple, I swear," Michael assured. He had taken the apple to work with him from the start of last week, and it had been sitting there on his desk, doing nothing spectacular other than not rotting like a normal apple would after so long.
"Didn't I tell you no more crazy talk?" Linus whispered since someone nearby coughed. People within the office did like to eardrop on one another, and since the both of them were working for someone else, they had to follow certain rules and regulations. "Anyway, have you finished the framework?"
"Almost. I just need to debug a few things," Michael answered after deciding to drop the whole matter since it will not get him anywhere.
Compare to his MMORPG, the physic engine that he was working on was really simple. The game itself was simple as well, but despite that, the hype surrounding it was enormous due to who the publisher was.
In this day and age, a well-known brand could turn shit into gold, not that the game was total garbage from what Michael could tell. It just wasn't worth the price of a triple A title, but Michael was sure the fan base would pay and praise it, nonetheless.
"Cool. Just don't take too long man," Linus said softly. "They're already talking about cutting back."
Michael blinked at that. The game was nowhere near finish, and the deadline should not be for like a couple more months. "Didn't you say that needed people?"
"Huh? Oh? That was a lie," Linus responded sheepishly, and when Michael glared at him, he chuckled and nodded. "Alright. I only got this job because I knew the interviewer."
"Knew the interviewer? Don't tell me that you…"
"Totally did, and for your information, knowing someone and fucking them are the same thing," Linus said while matching Michael's gaze. He snickered. "Alright, I only did it to show her that she was tight asshole. I didn't think she would call me back, and now she is checking up on me."
Michael rolled his eyes. He should have known, as this job was too good to be true. It paid fairly well, especially for someone who did not have a good job history like him. Therefore, the only reason that he was hired was thanked to his friend fucking around. Literally.
"So? Why not just fuck her again?" Michael pointed out and looked around the massive office to locate the woman. Everyone knew that the boss lady was engaged and that she was cheating on her fiancé.
That said, no one would dare to rat her out though. They liked their job very much. Michael was in the same boat, considering that the boss lady could destroy his future career with a single phone call.
"What are you? My pimp?" Linus questioned and looked around the office as well. He appeared to be more self-conscious than usual.
"Since I got this job thanks to your fucking around, I guess that I am," Michael deadpanned and stared at Linus, who stared back.
After a handful of seconds, the both of them cracked up before they were both told to shut up.
Linus hastily returned to his cubicle while Michael continued to work on the game engine.
Since Linus had time to wander around the office and chat to people, Michael realized that Linus had already completed his side of the project and was waiting for Michael to catch up.
That or Linus wanted to fuck around again.
It seemed unlikely, considering that Linus had a good work ethics, but then again, Michael wasn't too sure about that. Linus had been getting slobby lately unlike the time that they worked together on the same vision.
After an hour, Linus was seen wandering around again. He headed to the washroom and stayed there for a lot longer than someone should. Like a lot longer. He had not exited.
Michael pondered about that and was ready to check up on Linus in the washroom before he noticed the boss lady heading towards him. He shrank back down to his seat as she looked at him before giving him a smile.
It was a flirty smile, and it caused Michael to shiver. It seemed that the boss lady had her eyes on him, and there was no way he could get away. He gulped as the boss lady entered the washroom, hopefully the female section, but the entrance to that was out of view.
It did not take long for Michael to hear something he did not want to hear, but since his cubicle was the closest to the washroom, it was inevitable.
"Yes! Yes! Fuck me! Ah fuck! Yes! Fuck me! C'mon. Harder. Put your fucking legs into it. Ah fuck! Fuck! I'm going to cum. Ah!"
"Yes sir. I mean ma'am. Boss! Ugh! Ugh!" Linus responded as he gripped her hips tightly with both his hands and buckled his ass like he meant it. He was pounding her snatch over the sink with the audible sound of running water.
It was their feeble attempt to mask what they were doing. Quite unnecessary as everyone in the office already knew they were fucking each other after the first few days. In fact, a few guys managed to get the job after doing pretty much the same thing.
The boss-lady was a slut, apparently, and now she had her eyes on Michael, who really, really wanted to keep to himself.
Too bad, Michael couldn't do that anymore, and he felt like there a migraine growing due to what will happen soon.
