Its been long overdue, but only this day that me and my former boss, Claire, who is also a dear friend, managed to have lunch together.

Back when we were still working in the same company, we were the usual lunch buddies. I don’t know why, but our officemates prefer to bring packed lunch than eat at the mall sometimes there’s only the two of us having lunch. Our office before is just beside Robinson’s Galleria and there’s also a bridge connecting our building to the mall itself and I really think that everyone should take advantage of this privilege.

Well, I’m not really the type who would stay in the office during breaks. The corporate surrounding suffocates me and I really need to go out during lunch. Period.

It was a rewarding tête-à-tête to say the least though we did not talk about something huge at lunch. Its just the usual “how are you”, “how are you doing” talk. Usual as it may seem, I am quite happy that I we to be friends after all. We’re really close friends even before that some of our officemates mistook it as favoritism. I can’t blame them, for I am really her favorite, because I’m the smartest! (Hahaha!) I have apprehensions whether we can really be good friends but I can clearly remember what she said when I left the company:

“We’ll be better friends, for there is no boss – staff relationship.” I can only agree.
