"You misleaded my husband and now you're playing innocent!"
Everyone's attention around the table centres to their table. One calmly seated; another hyped up.
"I didn't know he was married." Lucy stated silently as everyone went back to their usually chatting with their cup of coffee.
The other woman scoffs clearly not believing.
"And I should be buying it? All those bullshits!!! He loves me!!!!" She screams.
Lucy now starting to try to keep her voice stable as she feels stares of strangers around her- "Look, I think we both can sum up what has happened here. Let's not cause a scene here."
"My husband is innocent, it must be you who has plotted."
Phone vibrates
Lucy's finger slides up the bright screen, putting it on speaker -
"Hello honey, are you at work?" A male voice speaks from the speaker.
"Hmm"
"Let's meet up after work. I've booked a nice restaurant for dinner."
"I'm a little busy right now. I'm hanging up."
*Beep*
That woman's eyes which were glued to the phone screen, now moves up to face Lucy.
"You think this proves anything?" Woman's voice now dangerously low.
"You're now-"
*Splash*
That woman's hand swings with a glass of water all over lucy's face.
Lucy wipes down her face, her wet bangs shrinked to thin vertical lines on her forehead.
"I think I have explained enough and you know it too. So stop being a devoted WIFE to a bastard like him."
*Picks up her bag*
"He's not worth you!" Lucy finally snaps, getting up from the table and walks out as her phone rings again.
Before even the glass door fings open-
*Holds phone to her ear*
"hel-"
HEYY LUCY, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE OFFICE HOURS FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE???? REPORT ME RIGHT NOWW!!!
"Mr.Mark, I'll be there right now."
*Ha-*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The woman, screeches in pain, holding her belly bump.
Shit
"Mr.Mark, I'll be there.... One hour more..." She quickly puts her phone away in her bag and rushes to get her out.

Nurse: So you're the guardian? Here's the form. Please fill it up.
Lucy holds the sheets in her hand, not knowing why is she even doing this? This is just absurd.
Nurse: And also please call the father of the baby.
Lucy: huh? Uh yes. Ok.
*Nurse leaves*
Lucy's finger hovers for a second before tapping to dial the call.
Screen reads - BOYFRIEND
______________________________________
Phone falling inside her bag again, this time for the final time, It's time to get back to the office.
Her shiny eyelashes definitely doesn't hint at the crying of her at the empty hallway she's coming out from.
The hospital is actually filled with lots of people; patients, doctors in white coat walking up and down the stairs. ward boy pulling empty wheel chairs and receptionist busy with paper works.
Lucy glances at her watch.
"Mr.Mark will be totally crazy!"
She hurried up her pace. And her phone goes off.
"Why is this phone ringing so often today!?? As if I'm the most important person in this world!!!"
Her hand searches for the phone ringing inside her bag, her short legs hurrying knowing that it would be her manager- And thud -
Her shoulder bumped into someone's shoulder and she's about to fall.
But.
But-
The doctor
*Correction*
The handsome doctor, right in front of her, his hand wrapped around her back, his face hovers right above hers. She stares at the tiny mole below his left eye perfectly placed.
"I know I'm good looking but stop staring".
Lucy stands up properly on her feet.
The doctor straightens his white coat and turns to walk on his way before Lucy was about to thank him.
"Is it just me? Or is he acting rude?" (Watching his back head)
"You're wrong. He is not acting rude. He IS rude." (Watching that doctor leave together with her)
Lucy got startled as she didn't notice that another doctor was standing beside her.

2:30pm
"Yaa who do you think you are? No answer me!" Manager yells in his cabin making other employees to fill the office with sounds no other than keyboard, except one though.
"Mr.Mark.... I was-"
Lucy flinches when the manager flips the paper file on his keyboard which makes his own desktop's speaker volume to go up.
Terry (intern): He himself was watching YouTube, how is he so shameless. Whisper to the next person)
Jane (team member) : He's always been like that. (Whispers back)
Sharon (newbie): shhh
*pointing* towards team leader who's sitting in front of his desk but his face clearly shows how much he's disgusted by this environment.
Lucy quickly lowers the speaker volume by turning those round rotators.
Mr.mark, who has found something interesting in his desktop screen, "hey, isn't that you?" Clicks the mouse botton to play the video.
"No that's not me".
"Yes it's you". Verifying the blurry face of girl sitting on the chair and Lucy's face. "Wait let me raise the volume." *Turns the button*
--"didn't know he was marr-"--
Lucy quickly lowers the speaker volume by turning back the button.
"Why did you??!" Again turns the volume button.
--"loves me-"--
Volume button back to normal.
"Yaa what do you think you're doing?" Mr.mark questions angrily.
"It's office hours now sir, let's not waste the time". Lucy tries to ice him down.
"This is my office!!!" He shouts. "And it's definitely you for sure". He suspectingly looks at her.
"Enough. Stop it".
Lucy's stiff shoulder relaxes a little when the team leader Steve steps up.
"We're employees working in a company. So let's act like one". With his deep voice shushing down manager from further arguments.
"And Lucy, there're some docs on your desk. Take care of it". He signs to leave, sending her out of manager's cabin.
