And nobody was taking any notice of Brosie. Who by now, was looking mighty cosy with his co worker Shirley Lin.
They had their heads together for quite some time, only getting interrupted by Violet who declared that she was tired and wanted to go to bed.
What was it that they needed to discuss in such a private matter I wonder?
I know he had to be uber friendly to her for one of his 'opportunities' in order to go further up the corporate ladder and improve his chances of a promotion.
But surely he hasn't gotten that far that they've started an affair?
Surely?
It was just before Shirley left, that I happened to see her thought bubble.
"Have you taken it yet?"
"Um no."
"I'm worried."
"Me too, what if there are side effects?"
"Wish I could get out of this."
"Me too. .... So when are you going to take yours?"
"I think I'll wait till my day off. That way, if anything goes wrong, I won't miss a day's work."
"Good thinking. Going to take mine later."
"Oh man, you're brave."
With that, she left.
Apparently, a pharmaceutical company was conducting tests on some of their medicines and they needed to have a control group of people who'd willingly take some of their medicines - including placebos - just to see if these new drugs were safe enough to be publicly distributed.
Unfortunately, both Brosie and Shirley had signed up for this. So they had to do it.
The dilemma with Brosie was.... should he take it before going to bed... or when he got up the following day?

What happened next?
