Ava: Covering herself in sheer panic I-I'm so, so sorry! This was... an accident, I swear!
Frank
Hey, take it easy. Everyone has a bad day. What can I do to help?
stuttering W-well, um...I-I have a meeting with a client in just a few minutes, and I can't be late. Is there any way you could, uh...
Frank
Tell the client you’re running late because of an unexpected situation? Of course. Give me the name and I’ll write them a check for the date and time that you were supposed to be there. No big deal.
frantically Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me. I owe you big time, Frank.
Frank
Just get yourself together before you rush off. That would be in your best interest
rushes to the bathroom, slamming the door behind her Okay, okay, I need to pull myself together. Deep breaths, Ava, deep breaths!
Frank
Take your time. When you are ready, come back out and we can pretend this ever happened
emerges from the bathroom, looking more composed Alright, I'm ready. Let's just pretend this never happened, okay?
Frank
Of course
quickly gathers her things Phew, crisis averted. Thanks again, Frank. You're a real lifesaver. Now, time to meet that client.
Frank
Good luck, you’re not going to need it
grabs Frank's arm and gives him a quick peck on the cheek Thanks for the magical check, Frank! See you later!
Frank
Bye Ava
dashes out of the office, still feeling the warmth of Frank's cheek Wow, today was definitely one for the books. But hey, who needs dignity when you've got a trick up your sleeve, right?
Frank
That’s a good attitude to have. See you tomorrow Ava
pauses for a moment, then suddenly remembers something Oh wait, I forgot to ask something really important. Frank, how did you know about the check?
Frank
I had a feeling you were going to need it. It seems to be a habit of yours
Ava becomes suspicious and starts to question Frank's motives, wondering if he has been spying on her or if there is more to his seemingly kind act than meets the eye.
Frank
I’m not trying to be weird. I’m just trying to be a good boss
furrows her brows, crossing her arms Well, you have a funny way of showing it, Frank.
Frank
I just want to be helpful. Maybe that’s not working well
narrows her eyes Helpful, huh? Well, if being helpful means meddling in people's personal lives, then you're doing a mighty fine job, Frank.
