"You will go in first. I will wait outside the door," Tom suggested and Lucy looked at him with a puzzled frown.
"Why? What am I supposed to say to her?" Lucy asked as the elevator door opened and they stepped out.
"Why? Because I'm not letting her attitude towards my girlfriend slide. If I do nothing, it's going to make her think it's okay to walk up to you and say whatever she likes. If I show up in her office instead of inviting her to mine, it's going to make everyone realize something is wrong, and it will pass a message to them all that no one is allowed to mess with you. Go in there and say whatever you like to get a ride out of her. I want her to say something she's not supposed to," Tom insisted, and Lucy sighed as they stopped outside the door.
At times like this the difference between her and Tom seemed so obvious. Where she would rather ignore somethings, Tom would rather be petty.
