Carla sat alone in her lab with a cup of coffee for the umpteenth time. Once again, everyone else in her lab was busying gossiping during lunch while she was trying to get some actual work done. It infuriated her to no end that most of the guys preferred talking to Tiffany, the blonde intern with double D boobs, instead of helping her with her work.
A knock came from the door behind her. She turned around to see Chris, her co-worker and one of the only people who didn't annoy her. Unlike the others, he prided himself on work and seem to want a genuine friendship with her. It didn't hurt that he was also strikingly handsome.
"Hey, Carla!" He greeted. "You're working during lunch again?"
"Yeah, I am," she said. "I'm close. I can feel it!"
"You sure you don't want to take a break?" Chris asked. "It might do you some good to relax a bit."
Carla shook her head. "If I relax, I'll forget half of the equations here. I need to stay focused. Sorry."
Chris shrugged. "Okay. We'll be in the cafeteria if you change your mind."
As Chris turned away, Carla continued analyzing her notes. She could just feel that a breakthrough was right around the corner!
