Todd dropped Amber home, she still hasn’t given him an answer yet but he had promised to wait.Amber opened he house door at exactly 11:12pm, Jen was laying on the sofa in the living room waiting for her, Amber had been dreading this, she had hoped Jen would be asleep when she gets back but Jen was curled up on the sofa, TV remote in hand, watching a movie which means Amber can’t escape the questioning tonight, she sighed and said“Hey Jen" “hey, welcome back" Jen called out, Amber faked a yawn trying to pretend to be really tired but that didn’t deter Jen at all, she paused the movie she was watching and turned her full attention to Amber.“so how did the non date outing go"She askedAmber knew it was only the beginning of her questioning so she simply said “fine" saving her energy for more questions she knew was coming, she sat beside Jen knowing Jen wouldn’t give up until she had her answers.Taking a deep breathe she said“Alright, ask away"“so are you dating Todd Anderson no

Work was hectic over the next few days, a new site was starting up, one was in the planning stage, one was at finishes stage and the handing over date was getting closer, Todd was so bust with site inspection, fixing of all the challenges arising with the new site, they had called from the new site that the dimension on the drawing were not fitting into the site and Todd had been working with the design team to come up with a workable plan, they succeeded eventually by reducing each partition of the drawing by 0.2m, the site that was slated for handing over in the following week also had some mechanical faults that needed urgent attention, Todd was so busy arranging for solution he hardly got any sleep, by Friday though he had managed to solve all the challenges he was exhausted, Amber knew how much he had been working and she couldn’t do much to help, when it was closing time, she didn’t see him leave the office, she thought he was working late again but knowing there’s no emergency
