Alexanne came out of the bathroom only to come face to face with Lowlife.
"Hey, where the fuck were you when Works asked for your help?!" He said. "You and your jock were supposed to help him out with fixing the android and he ended up doing all the job himself!"
"Well, that just proves he didn't need us after all." The woman retorted as she walked away from him.
"Would've taken less time had you been there. You'd better realize how lucky you are now that you know he's turned a blind eye on this."
"I was indisposed!" Alexanna threw her arms up and turned around to stare daggers into the man. "Don't you know how hard my life gets when it happens?"
"Seems that every damn time we need an extra hand for a job you have to piss an ovule!" He walked into the washroom while unzipping his jeans.
"Well, what are you about to do right now?"
Lowlife re-opened the door. "Business that's none of your business!"
Slam!
"Exi, can I ask you a favor?"
She turned around and literally melted. "Eep - Hi, Works!"
"Listen, I've got a new member here, an android. She's a really old model and is a bit overwhelmed by the perspective of waking up so far in the future. She doesn't show it but I trust my gut feeling on this. Okay, to the point now, I'd be really happy if you could her her at your place for a week or two. You know, get used to the new stuff and all that. Just so that she knows a bit more about the environment around her."
"Uh, sure, okay!"
"Great. Her name's Elisabeth, but she prefers to be called Elise."
"I'll remember that."
Works nodded. "Perfect. I see you're just in your cover-suit. You off already?"
"Yeah; I'm waiting for Masahito and then we'll go back home in my car. His needs a serious engine check... Oh, there he is. See you tomorrow!"
Works suddenly turned around while on the way to his office. "By the way, about my request for help to fix Elise..."
"Huh?!"
"...Please, try to be more available, or at least find a better excuse. I recall you were in desperate need for a tampon exactly seven days ago."
Exi's face twisted in surprise. "Hey, who told you that?"
"Xian, as usual. See you tomorrow."
"Bitch." She muttered to herself while noticing her boyfriend doubled up in laughter.
"And you got owned by the chief operative - again!" Masahito said with enough volume to let the entire planet know about the fact.
"Not funny." Alexanne shoved her car keys down his pants. "Here; you drive!"
