Birthday wishes

At that moment, Joe received a WhatsApp message from Zoe - a girl from work who was not yet out of her teens, but who had become a close friend after spending time with with Joe in their workplace "Mentor Scheme" (designed to help young interns and graduates to integrate into company culture by pairing them up with more experienced colleagues). She was fair skinned with dark hair, tall and athletic, having played youth netball to a national level...

Zoe: Happy birthday! Hope Nisha is spoiling you. What are you doing today? We'll celebrate together in the office on Monday ;)

Joe: Hey, thanks! Not doing too much - think we might be going for dinner later. How about you?

Zoe: Tom and I are going out too! I need your opinion on the dress...

The mention of her unfaithful boyfriend's name didn't sit well with Joe but he ignored it, excited by what might be to follow.

Joe: Sure...

Zoe: Do I look good in stripes? ( •_•)

Joe paused at the beautiful picture. This wasn't the first time Zoe had asked for his opinion on one of her outfits, but this felt much racier than previous occasions. Naturally he found it unusual, but certainly didn't mind receiving selfies directly from the hard-bodied teenager whose tempting figure contrasted almost completely to that of his girlfriend. He zoomed in and out, drinking in her body with his eyes.

Zoe: Oops, was that inappropriate? ;)

This appeared to be escalating quickly but before Joe could think of a response Nisha walked into the room clutching the onyx stone to her chest with one hand. She appeared to be moving frantically but quickly noticed Zoe's picture.

"That's your little bitch from work, isn't it? She's still sending you those pictures, isn't she?" Nisha appeared to be breathing heavily whilst asking the questions.

Joe panicked, locking his phone but it was far too late and he was rumbled. He began constructing the best excuse of his life. "

"Baby, it's just a picture. I didn't even ask her to send..."

"Show me more." Nisha interrupted

"Sorry, what?" Joe became confused.
