"And who says Issy is your friend? She is my and Aurora's friend, not yours", Gabby said, as she entered the room.
Neel looked at her and replied,"Well, sorry to disappoint you and Aurora, but she's my friend too, and the other good thing is, we are colleagues as well, so I guess, I share one more relationship with her, apart from being friends."
"Hmph", Gabby pouted, much to all of our amusement, watching these two banter, like two kids.
"Okay okay, we are all friends with Issy. Neel, behave", Maya said, while Gabby stuck out her tongue at Neel.
I could only smile and shake my head helplessly at how childish my friend was acting, but somehow, it made the environment much lighter, and I was thankful to her and Neel, for their childlike, playful nature.
"Zeke", I said, and when he looked at me, I continued,"I thought you weren't going to be back till next week. And about your business meetings, were they fruitful?"
