"Nice to meet you Pamela and Jenna." Lissy sincerely said as she shook their hands.
Up close, Lissy has a delicate feature. She sounded nice when she talk, someone who speaks with confidence. Lissy is a bit taller than Pam. Though they have their own charm and style, their eyes seems to be alike. They say the eyes is the window to one's soul. Was he looking at the same eyes? Pam had to erase such though in her mind. 'Who do you think you are,' resounded at her putting her back to reality.
"It would be good to catch up with you some other time." Lissy continued while stroking Tim's arms that is holding her other hand.
"Sure!" Pamela responded gesturing they are moving ahead when Jenna said, "Don't you recall me Tim?"
Tim looked confused though she does look familiar. "We worked together in a project, I am Pim's friend."
Pam felt like an ice cold water was poured over her. Standing next to Jenna, she pinched her from the back lightly, signaling her to stop. Mentioning Pim out of nothing! Forget about Pim!
Surprised as he may be, Tim acted normally upon hearing the name Pim. "Must be the hair color or what? Jenna it is right? Whatever happened to your friend Pim, please say hi and tell her how well I am."
They parted, Pam still holding her breath cursing Jenna inwardly.
"What's with the tell her how well I am?" Jenna is confused. Tim sounded like he was wronged by Pam. There must be some truth to what Mark has said. Was it ego thing?
"Jenna!!!!!! What is running on your mind?" Pam was rolling her eyes as she confronted her friend. "No one know about me and him in the office.
"Why did i sold you there? I am friend with Pim. Are you Pim?" Pam could not help but nod her head in disagreement. The mentioned of Pim is unwanted for her and likely for Tim too. Jenna is intentionally doing this. This lady needs some beating.
"Please don't open up a pandora's box. We are working as colleague in a project i don't want to be topic of lunch gossip if this comes out." Although there is little chance that the project team may be meeting Lissy, its better to keep those info off. What if she casually mentioned meeting her and Jenna. What if another character connected appear. That scares her.
Lissy appears to be a nice lady. She on the other hand is a used doll that was played on. In the software industry, Lissy appears to be one of the darlings. She is known to be smart and really good in managing the marketing and sales team from Meridian, a known company in the software industry. She was once awarded as Top 10 Young Marketers also known as TOYM, a prestigious award from a body of marketing professionals. There are many outstanding marketers aged 20-30 from different industries who underwent rigid selection process. For Lissy to be chosen as Top 10, she has made her marked in the industry she is in. She is predicted to be the next Country Head of Meridian.
Lissy is so well accomplished and beautiful. She is also gifted with the right curves. Unlike Pam who looks petite at 162 cm because of her lean body type. If she had been taller, she could be a model. Pam thinks that guys would definitely go for sexy curvy women.
'When did i start comparing myself with her? Why am i even thinking of comparing my self with her' Pam thought to herself.
"Tim has an eye for beauty." Jenna is also mesmerized by how nice and beautiful Lissy is.
"Not to mentioned she is smart, she received TOYM 2 years ago. Someone said she is eyed to be the next Country Head for Meridian" Pam added.
"Wow do i smell something sour here? Where you stalking at her?" Jenna looked at her questioning eyes.
"Of course not! What I am saying is she is not just another girl okay?" Pam reasoned out. She has a point. Lissy is someone you can proudly present to everyone as you girlfriend or wife. It cannot be denied too, she was curious to know who this lady is and information are flowing without her asking. Lissy is someone you cannot simply play with. She is precious.
"Well you are not at par with her my friend. Why do i feel like you are looking down at yourself? You are equally smart, a programming bad ass for once. Your also pretty with those nice boobies and you are my friend." These statement from Jenna brought them to laughter. Pam actually thinks despite her slender figure, it was thanks to her bust that did not look like a stick. Some exercises and walking which became her lifestyle toned her body a bit.
"It has nothing to do with me okay? It's not like I am competing with her. I heard he has become successful and is a sought after executive. It's no wonder behind every successful man is woman!" Pam's statement does make a lot of sense. Only she is not that woman standing behind this man they are talking about.
Back in the restaurant with the couple, "Who is Pim?" Lissy asked Tim. She heard about some rumors when Tim was pursuing her that he used to be in a cute relationship back in his younger days.
"One of the programmer who worked with the team before. She was a programming prodigy. I don't remember random people. She looked familiar though." Tim nonchalantly answered. He looked for that lady before but she always turns into bubbles whenever i tried to approach. However he just had to down play things afraid of Lissy asking him more questions. He always aimed to be honest with Lissy and if she asked her question he does not want to lie. It is best if this topic can be avoided.
"Wow an programming prodigy, cool of a woman to excel in this field that is dominated by men." Although she was curious, Lissy did not expound on the topic hearing Tim said random people. Unimportant people she thought.
"I heard about the benefits or juicing. Organic juicing gives optimal benefit i would assume." She smiled sweetly to Tim while waiting for him to finish cutting her steak.
"Definitely!" Tim handed over the plate to Lissy and started eating. "Pesticide free fruits and juices are the best." He can't help but remember. Back then Pim was curious about his preference for organic food. The name Pim... he sighed unaware.
"Honey?" Lissy inquiring why he suddenly sighed.
Tim giggled to mask what is running on his mind, " Too bad we missed on the sweet basil earlier. I missed your homemade pesto."
"I can get you fresh organic one south side. I am having client visit this Tuesday its within the way." She brightly smiled back to Tim. Feels good that he liked her cooking. She can't think of settling with any other man except for Tim. She is consistently rising in her career and its always a blessing to have someone as perfect as Tim. He has repeatedly told her she is the one he wants to grow old with and that gives her the boost she needs to further excel.
