JUNE'S POV
Lunch passed with me and Avery talking about each and everything. I continued my work for the day but I still could forget the intern, there was something familiar about him or maybe am just overthinking as usual. I decided to just push everything to the back of my mind and focus on work.
*************
"are you ready to go now miss workaholic?" I looked up to see Avery standing in front of my cubicle
"and when did you get here?" I asked
"I have been here for a while but you didn't notice" she replied me while rolling her eyes
"seriously?" I was surprised she got here and I didn't notice
"yes!, and I have been here for a while and you didn't notice because you got your face buried deep in work. I know you are a really hard worker but sometimes give your self a break" Avery said with a sigh
"I know, I know but this job is my one shot at making something of myself and you know that that" I defended
"of course I know that but that doesn't mean you need to work yourself to death, anyways pack up, I saw this restaurant online and I want us to go check it out" she said grabbing her back she had set down earlier on my table.
"seriously? and why exactly are we going there can't we just go to our regular diner and just have dinner or we could go to my house, am sure I have something in the fridge we could warm up or I could cook" I suggested
"yes, we are going and I heard great stuff about it and plus I ain't eating one of those your leftovers that has been in your fridge for days and besides you and I both know that you can't even boil an egg talk less of cooking so let's say ourselves the stress of eating one of those your poisons" she said. I gasped jokingly and faked hurt by clutching my hand over my chest cause I know that she wasn't wrong, "that's do not true" I said trying to contain my laughter
"yeah it is and we both know it so pack let's go so we can get the best seats in the restaurant"
"okay, okay, am coming just one minute" I said while saving the work I was currently doing on my laptop and then shutting down I put it and other necessary documents in my bag as well as my phone and other things.
"don't tell me you are going to work at home after all these work you have done today" Avery asked slightly widening her eyes
"yes I am, and we both know I can't stay in my apartment doing nothing, I will die of boredom" I said while stand and straighten out dress.
"and this is the reason why you should have friends" she told me
"I do have friends" I said defensively
"really? tell me one" she asked raising one of her perfectly shaved eyebrows
"you, for starters and whole lot of others you don't know about"
"hmmm, okay, whatever makes you sleep at night June" she said and I could hear the amusement in her voice
"let's go" I said because I know she was right again
I picked up my bag and we both left my cubicle and made our way towards the elevator.
"Miss Parker, please hold on" I heard my name, I turned around to find Matthew walking over to me with long and elegant strides and damn.....
"oh okay" I said in a small voice
"Hello, hope you remember me, am Matthew and I will be your intern. I just wanted to let you know that I will be starting tomorrow"
"mm mm" I heard Avery coughing and that's when I realized that I have been ogling him, oh shit
"yeah, yeah I remember you and there's no problem at all with you starting tomorrow" I said after I composed myself quickly
"okay then, so see you tomorrow then" He said as he turned and walked away
"okay" I said in barely a whisper
"so what was that?" I heard Avery ask behind me
"what was what?" I asked feigning innocence when I know she clearly ogling the adonis- like intern I was given
"you were clearly checking out that your new intern which is a first for you" she said as we made it into the elevator and I pressed the button for the ground floor
" no, I wasn't"
" yes you were clearly drooling over him" she said
"no I wasn't" I insisted
oh shit was I been that obvious. I think I might just have a problem since he is going to be working with me and I loss my focus and bearing whenever he is around me
" focus" I screamed in my head.
"so what were you saying about this restaurant" I asked in an attempt to change the topic
"oh, so it says online that they serve the best steaks" she said dreamily with a giggle and I was both happy and relieved it worked
"oh yeah?"
"yeah and the reviews are great" she said as we arrived at the ground floor and made it outside the office building and flagged down a taxi to take us to the restaurant but I still could not get Matthew out of my head which was kinda of getting annoying.
