i don't think that you're going to be so happy now
i've been requisitioned for this evening for X's farewell dinner
you're welcome to come along tonight, if you like
but i don't think it was what you had envisaged...
sorry - a bit of an unexpected development.

I told you- if she has time on her hands, she would have something planned for the both of you!!!!
She's that type!!!!
So I pre-empted it and that's why I suggested that you should perhaps register your busyness with a "function" you need to attend!!!
And since you dun even know any of those pp, how could you have ask me to tag along, dope?!!!!

i don't think she planned it for me - i'm just expected to be there
it's a work farewell - makes sense
i know what you're saying, but functions don't come up that quickly - so not applicable in this circumstance
well it's not just myself asking, X asked you to join too

heheh... i think everyone who is not an auditor would be out of place...
oh poor miss P
i bet that right now, you're feeling "duped"

"Valiantly" hey? what a big word!!!
that's what I thought- not cos she wants me to come but cos she wants you to come and be next to her, hence she is giving you the leeway to get your fren to come along so that u won't be too unhappy to have to cancel your plans with your friend.

i hope that you're not being sarcastic there... i can use other big words too
well no actually, it's just her work colleagues that are coming to this one, so the extended invitation makes you special

No, not being sarcastic!!! Juz trying to lighten up the mood for myself ;p
I dun think so- that makes u special cos she's bending backwards for you so that you would put in an appearance with her!
See, her world revolves quite a bit around you...
btw, where are u guys going for dinner tonight?
Btw, I think I have to wait for a call from Dubai tonite.

yeah, I was just playing it down and being diplomatic, Dopey!!!
I know when I see the way she looks at you- to still be so enamoured after 6 years, that's quite a big feat!!!
I might just pop up since I like to secretly indulge in the memory of the nite where we hooked up and dined and wined at Kobe Jones ;) What time is dinner?
but let me re-organise my time with the pp at Dubai...have to check the time clock!!!
The client contacted me directly!!!!

well,well, well- someone is blowing his own horn :p
Well, in order to secretly relive that old memory of us at Kobe Jones amongst a bunch of boring auditors and having a dark private chuckle, yes I will comply and accept the invitation to dinner...;)
I have pushed my call to 12 midnight and am awaiting reply.
We'll see- anyhow, I really should be printing stuff out abt the company and have a read and so I could talk shit tonight....;)

Subject: RE: oh dear...
Think I better not go for dinner tonite.
But thank her for inviting me.

Yes, I have changed my mind.
I think B and I are having dinner at La Cita on King Street Wharf.
I figured it would be too weird for all of us to put things into context.
1)Her colleagues would think who the hell is this girl and body language will tell that I am not her best friend. The farewell was intended by her colleagues to bid her farewell.
2) She probably didn't want me to come silently but she has to ask anyhow so as to not incur your wrath or discontent for disrupting your proposed meet up with a friend so it is an obligation to ask (and praying at the back of her mind that the invitee would decline).
3) As for you, you would be stuck in an obligation to entertain your fren (ie. moi) who knows no one when the attention and the star is supposedly her. She would secretly not like the diversion of attention. She would go home feeling uneasy (plus if she sees how short my dress is today,even my boss said so, and imagine that I was supposed to be meeting u tonite if not for the dinner), you guys might end up having quite a tense moment behind closed doors when u reach home cos she wouldn't know how to verbalise her displeasure/ discomfort and would find something to pick a fight with. Which is counter-productive and unnecessary for all parties.
Therefore, in order to make everyone a winner in this case, Miss P (for pre-empt and peace) has decided to extract herself from this occasion. Her thoughts for winning for herself in this case is she is granting everyone a win-win situation...;)
