"Mery, you know full well under our workplace agreement that I am entitled to my allocated lunch and tea breaks," Lexie spoke as she shifted around in her chair, moving pieces of paper from one place to another and stapling them together when they seemingly matched. She looked up and saw Mery with a stern look on her face as if to say [i]'I'm waiting for the comeback'[/i], "I just happened to have my break at my desk, if I am allowed to do that?"

Lexie picked up the documents that she had together and placed them within a zip travel folder. As she got up from her desk she proceeded to walk towards the elevator, stepping past Mery without even acknowledging her presence. With a gentle touch she pushed the button and waited for the lift to announce it's arrival with a quiet ding and a swooshing sound from the doors. Lexie stepped inside and held her finger on the open-doors button, waiting for her fellow worker to finally get the hint that it was time to leave work for the day. Mery stepped inside and positioned herself on the back wall out of Lexie's eyesight, but visible through the metallic door reflections.

"So?" She spoke, cracking the silence like the thunder earlier that day, "What plans have you got for your day off?"


[b]A short while later[/b]

Lexie stepped out of the elevator and towards the front doors, fuming as she left a stunned co-worker there in shock. Mery was gently rubbing her cheek after the slap that she had received, probably for asking an inappropriate question but who knew what was said within the confined, steel concessionary.

The tower doors swept open as Lexie walked out into the cold, wet streets. Quickly she rushed across the road, holding her folder above her head to repel some of the falling rain. She swiftly dodged the hover cars until she came to the pavement on the other side and took a step into a puddle. Water splashed up in the air and over a nearby pedestrian.

"Damn," she heard him muttered as she looked up to see his pants soaking wet. He looked pissed, like someone just trying to enjoy a walk. He ran his hands through his red hair, showing frustration at what had just happened. [@Art of Fun]
