Forced to work (alt 1)
Leslie knocked on Chris and Ben’s office door, and she sees Ben visibly jump from his daze.
“Hey,” Leslie says.
“Hi,” Ben replied, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
“Did you get my email?”
“N-no to be honest I haven’t been really paying attention all day,”
Leslie furrowed a brow in concern. “Is everything okay?”
“Not really I-I’ve seemed to come down with something I think,”
“Than why are you here? You’re clearly ill,”
“I don’t have any sick days left,”
“Well, where’s Chris?”
Ben sighed. “He ran away as soon as he realized I was sick. Haven’t seen him since,”
“Of course. Do you need anything? I have Advil in my purse,”
“No I’m okay,”
Leslie sighs. “Well, feel better,”
”thank you,” he says, as Leslie shuts his office door.

After what seems like a thousand agonizing hours for Ben, the clock finally strikes 5pm and he can go home. As he opens his office door, he finds a basket, full of medications and different foods, with a note that read,
“I thought you could need this. Feel better! Xoxo, Leslie”
He smiles, she truly is his dream woman.
