Penny

He took me for a business lunch with a colleague, who was an arrogant dickhead, cornered me as I came out of the bathroom, and pulled me out of the restaurant without a single word of explanation. We didn’t even eat. Not that I’m complaining about that part. The food was so pretentious and I don’t even know what I ordered.

Edie

What?

Nicole

You sure we aren’t missing some story there?

Angie

Did the colleague flirt with you?

Penny

No.

Penny

I dunno

Penny

Kinda… he offered me a job. But I put him in his place. To be honest, I thought Ben was enjoying the way I was handling the prick.

Angie

Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

Penny

It was more than that. I think.

Edie

Have you asked him what happened?

Penny

Nope.

Edie

You know what I’m going to say.

Penny

Yep, that’s why I’m ignoring you. Angie, Nicole, speak.

Nicole

You gotta talk to him, girl.

Penny

Nope. Ignoring you too, Angie, go.
