"I don't think there is anything to say sorry for," said Raelle. "I think I also feel happy looking at my husband. So, I can't blame you."
"Chief, it's good to see you here," said Cloe with an awkward smile.
"You don't have to lie to my face like this," was Raelle's response. "As I always say, I also don't feel particularly good about seeing you outside of work."
"Wow! As always, you have the right words," commented Cloe sourly.
Raelle looked at Cloe and asked, "Are you done saying hi?"
"I am," replied Cloe a bit uncertainly.
Raelle nodded, "Then go along. This is my limit of bearing you outside of work."
"Chief!" Cloe's voice sounded like she was whining right now.
"I have a name, do I have to keep reminding you that?" retorted Raelle. "Why am I keeping you around if you can't even remember my name?"
