Meeting Anna During Lunchbreak

"Can you believe it?! Can you believe this is the kind of company we work for?!" Monica slammed her fists down onto the railing, startling Anna. They were sitting on the second-floor terrace eating lunch. It was middle ground between the corporate offices from the 3rd through 5th floors, and R&D on the first level.

"What's gotten into you? What's going on?" Anna was startled.
"It's that dumbass new Brand Adjustor and his sexist incentive program."
"Oh, yeah. Emery was talking about that. He was mad too. He disagrees completely with the whole thing" Anna's face lit up.

"You mean Dr. Verlax right? He was mad about it?" Monica was surprised. She'd been under the impression that the company's R&D head was a bit crazy and that he didn't have the moral standing to be against something like that.
"Yeah. But mostly because he had something else planned. He wanted the new BA to help him with testing a new product. But with this whole incentive program being the BA's focus, my boss feels a bit irrelevant." Anna explained.

"Oh, so he's not a feminist. He just wanted some spotlight." Monica was disappointed.
"It's not like that. He's just a man of science, and the incentive program doesn't involve any. It's all a social experiment." Anna defended.
"You're not participating are you?" Monica asked.

"What do you think? I'm a scientist. I'm not doing it. Emery said I'm better suited for working smart, not working dumb." Anna laughed. "Besides, no guy wants attention from me anyways." Anna's mood became somber, as it had the night before.
"Oh Annie." Monica put her arm around her friend, "You'll find a man, eventually. Someone who will treat you right. It won't be some creep who wants a massage from here though." Monica tries to make the conversation light-hearted.

"No. I'll probably be with a guy who is into weird shit. I mean, not just the regular weird, but the super weird." Anna laughs.

"Like what?" Monica was genuinely intrigued, despite her attempt to steer the conversation elsewhere.

"I dunno, maybe into feet, or something like that."

"What about your boss, he got weird tastes?" Monica asked, a bit of teasing in her voice.

"Oh, he loves cows." Anna was serious.

"Cows? You're fucking kidding me."

"I'm not. He loves them. He even has one in his house."

"I can't even, are you fucking serious?"

"Yes." Anna looked at her best friend with a dead-pan serious expression, obviously suppressing a laugh.
"You are fucking with me!" Monica laughed, and Anna couldn't contain herself either. They ended up laughing for a while on that one.

Monica and Anna talked a bit more about work and made jokes about various people in their offices for a bit. The two eventually finished their break after a while and headed back to their respective workplaces, both in better spirits for the day.
