Blind Date

"I'd put money on it." Claire said, smirking and Anthony suppressed one of his own.
"Oh yeah?" John said, perking up, "How much?"
"Ten dollars each?" She said, voice soft and innocent.
"Done deal." they both nodded, pulling out a note each and the three of them turned on Anthony. "Go on then Anthony, if you can prove you've got a girl, you'll win Claire here twenty bucks."
He looked at Claire, "Well..."
"Oh!" Claire said, mocking sudden surprise, as if just remembering something, "I'm such an airhead some days... It's me, I'm the girl." She grinned and leaned in, kissing Anthony on the lips.
The sudden silence was broken by the sound of the HR representative choking on her coffee.
"...Bullshit you're just saying that for the money." Harry said, taken aback, uncertain as his eyes flickered between the two.
She took out her phone and held it up, the lock screen photo a picture of the two of them together, smiling and hugging. "Read it and weep boys." she said, casually plucking the notes from their outstretched fingers.
The two men looked completely baffled, unable to comprehend the truth as Charlene recovered from the sudden shock of what she had overheard and approached, "You two! We need to have a talk about office romances!!"
As Anthony and Claire looked at each other, smiling softly, Anthony could swear he heard Anne in her office, laughing softly.
