Jason was eating cereal..Tina and Fred too came out , dressed in their pajamas.. Jason was all dressed up and ready..as soon as Tina and Fred sat down with him he said," good morning.." they muttered good morning in response..he said," Fred.. I want you to understand that you are sales head now, I left you responsible for the entire office..I don"t appreciate your coming here without discussing with me first.." Tina had the same opinion..if she were in Fred"s place, she would never do it..Fred was a great employee, but he always had issues with discipline..Fred looked taken aback..he said, " in my defense..it"s a weekend followed by two working days and a long holiday week..why can"t I take two days leave? am I not ent.i.tled to take leave?"
Jason said," ofcourse you can, if you start talking policies, I can also say that any leave can"t be confirmed unless you get an approval from your boss.."
Fred was struggling now..that was the policy..he couldn"t respond..he just said, " ok..can I request you to grant me leave for two days..BOSS?" stressing on the word Boss, Jason said, " this should have been done before leaving the country!"
Tina bent her head..she knew whatever Jason said was correct.. and being in the position of a vertical head, Fred needs to set an example, now the entire top management of India is sitting in Swiss..the team had no clue..
Jason said, " Fred.. I am not sure what was your concern.. whether you wanted to take a week off or you didn"t want me to stay with Tina.. since you know that I have feelings for her..!" Tina took a sharp breath, she looked at both of them...she only thought Fred was jealous...he knew it?? how ??
. Jason lifted his hands in defence and said, "I told him before the Swiss trip ..." she said," wow.. and Fred.. you didn"t tell me?" Fred said," woah! he wanted a bet..he asked me not to stay in touch with you for the entire week and he said he could turn your affections towards him ...I didn"t take it..and I didn"t tell you because I didn"t want Jason to lose his face..."
Tina stood up angrily..she glared at Jason and said," what??" in a dangerous Voice..
Jason was put in a spot now..he said," that was not what I meant..I can explain.."
Tina looked at Fred and at Jason , she said," both of you.. f**k off.." Fred tried to follow her..she turned around..her eyes were red and dangerously narrow.. she said," don"t you dare follow me..!" Fred stopped in his tracks..his sweet and beautiful Tina transformed into an angry Lioness..
Tina went to her room and slammed the door shut.. what was happening..she kept pacing in her room..she couldn"t Clear her head..she sat on her bed and clutched her head..her head was pounding with pain..
After about twenty minutes, there was a knock on her door...she said," who is it?" it was Fred.. he said," Tina.. please..let me come in.." then there was another Voice..,"Tina .. please..can we talk.. I can explain.." it was Jason..
She opened the door and looked at both the men standing at the door..she looked at Jason and said," am I an object.. for you to put a wager on..?!" Jason said," look Tina.. please let me in.. please.." his eyes were sincere..Fred looked awkward..he simply nodded..
She let them inside...
