29 - Joana

I giggled softly. João was very good at his assumptions. No wonder I left the decision to take the lead of cases always in his hands. The man knew what he was doing most of the time.

"Maybe that's why we ended so easily," I spoke in the tone of those who prefer to conclude the subject. "Well, I just called to apologize for the delay, but if you keep talking to me, I'll be even later.”

"The office is yours, woman," he said, laughing. "Take the day off and that's it.”

"I can't, I want to solve my problems with my new client.”

João made a suggestive sound.

"You're more interested than before in this case, aren't you?”

"It's intriguing, I confess.”

"Confess that you found the deta student a hell of a hottie," he said in an accusatory tone.

"Wez, I've never spoken with a laugh, but the lie was obvious.”

"Right, I won't insist, you must already be burning out of shame. I'll save some for later, when you get to the office," he said with an evil laugh. "We'll be waiting for you, little boss.”
