The guy was lucky he paid well and was one of the best companies to work for in the US.
“All right, now that you know you’ll be on a game show, we’ll pass out the notebooks, you will answer the questions, and remember this is how well you know your co-worker after a day. Did you ask them questions about their lives? Did you really follow the handbook, page five, point two, where it’s important to know who you work with and really invest in their lives? You have ten minutes. Whoever gets the most questions right about their partner wins. Each question is one point. Ten points in total but you only gain a point if both of you guess correctly otherwise you lose that question. Any questions? Ha ha, I’ve said question at least three times, that’s funny.”
“Ten dollars. He’s high.” Bri leaned in.
I choked back a laugh. “Honestly, I think that’s just him living and breathing, must be nice.”
“Like those people who have random orgasms throughout the day and say how horrible it is, I wouldn’t mind, never mind, off topic—“
“—Oh, I think I’d like to hear about this, you wouldn’t mind… what?” I leaned in and breathed down her neck, then tugged her behind a few of the teams, and pressed a kiss to her collarbone before turning back around to face my boss.
“T-twenty-eight,” Bri whispered.
“She counts.”
“It wasn’t really that high and we’re going backward.”
“That’s true.”
Why was I suddenly shaking?
Dustin handed out the notebooks, and I went to the other side of the room with my black marker and white paper and stared at it. How well did I really know her, anyway? I never would have guessed she would walk.
But I knew her, right?
I loved her.
Here went nothing.
We were the last to go after I drew the short straw for our team, so we had the painful task of watching team after team fail, one team got negative points for arguing at the end and if we got at least two points, they’d be asked to leave the competition.
Brutal.
“Ready?” I asked Bri once we got to the stage.
She gave me a firm nod. “We’ve got this.”
“Hopefully.” I took a seat across from her.
“First question!” Max announced. “What is your office mate’s favorite genre of show to watch?”
Bri and I locked eyes and smiled, then flipped our pages.
“Crime/Murder/Mystery.” We both wrote the exact same thing.
“Wow!” Max chuckled. “Lucky guess that you guys chatted about that, the first day, I’m impressed. All right, next question. What is your office mate’s favorite food?”
We flipped our pages.
She loved tacos. It’s why I was in charge of Taco Tuesday.
I, however, preferred pasta.
“Right again.” Max chuckled. “That’s weird, you aren’t cheating, are you?”
Yes, because we wanted to win so badly, but actually I did, for her, for her loans, so maybe I would cheat for her, but we weren’t.
“Next question, what is an office related task your office mate is specifically good at, it can be anything from work related to personal.”
