"Gym?" Mark asked. He carried his gym duffle bag on his back.
"Yup. Let me finish this up real quick. It'll be a second."
Mark sat in Eddie's desk. He was fidgeting with Eddie's toy figurines. "How is this Eddie guy?"
"He's a good desk mate. He doesn't bother me much. I can ask him for help and he does it right away."
"That's good to hear."
"Yeah."
"I think he likes you."
"What? How could you make that assumption?"
"He's quiet and tries not to annoy you. He helps you right away. He's shy but to you he talks."
"Well, he has no choice but to talk to me. I make him come over, otherwise I take his toys away."
"You must be the worst desk mate ever."
"Shut up. I buy him coffee in the morning sometimes."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Where's mine?"
"Why would I want to kiss my boss's ass?"
"How about as a friend?"
"Maybe after the gym."
"You need to buy membership to get in by the way."
"Alright."

"Let's do a light jog and work our arms tonight." Mark instructed Janie.
"This is a light jog?"
"Yeah."
Janie panted. She was already perspiring a little.
"You gotta push yourself, Janie."
"We've only done 5 reps with that 10 pound weight and you're tired?"
"I need to start small, like with this 2 pound dumbbell."
Mark looked at Janie with disappointment. "No. 5 pounds."
Janie grabbed the 5 pound weight. "Hey, you're that girl." Janie looked up to see Hunter.
"Hi!"
Hunter smiled. "You go to this gym too?"
"First time. I'm with a friend actually."
"Oh. I'm here everyday. Who did you come with?"
Janie pointed to Mark. "Mark."
Mark was concentrating on working out. "Mark!" Mark looked up.
"What? Did you do it with the 5 pound weights yet?"
"No. This is my friend."
"Oh, what's up. Hunter, right?"
"Yeah." They had a small conversation about work and how they haven't seen each other at the gym.
Hunter went along to do his thing. "That's the executive assistant to the CEO."
