Chapter 135 Friends Appear
"Hey Emily, where you headed?"
Michael frowned as he saw Emily grabbing her bag, ready to leave.
"You guys are going out to eat, right? Why should I stick around? Might as well go home and tidy up a bit. Maybe you can clock out early too, huh, Mr. Smith?" Emily's words were always sharp, and Michael was used to it. Jessica, on the other hand, looked completely lost. She turned to Michael with a puzzled expression.
Michael just shrugged, looking helpless. He walked over to Emily, took her hand, and said to Jessica, "That's just how my wife is. She's had a fiery temper since she was a kid."
Emily looked even more confused at that.
Thankfully, Jessica broke the awkward silence with a laugh and extended her hand to Emily. "I love it! Your wife's got spunk!"
Jessica introduced herself, "Hey, I'm Jessica Foster. Just got back to the country today. Michael and I go way back! I missed your wedding, so I didn't recognize you in the elevator earlier. My bad. I actually thought you were Michael's assistant. You're pretty funny, playing along like that!"
A friend who just got back? No wonder Michael never mentioned her. So they were childhood friends, and she totally misunderstood their relationship. Feeling a bit awkward, Emily said, "Hi, I'm Emily Brown. Just call me Emily. I wasn't trying to... I've really been working as Michael's secretary lately." Jessica looked at Michael for confirmation.
Michael nodded.
Jessica laughed, "I get it, just some playful banter between a married couple. You guys are hilarious! Emily, nice to meet you. Just call me Jessica!" Jessica was super easygoing.
Well, at least with people she knew well.
