"Finally it's lunch!" Stan my co-worker from the cubicle opposite me said as he enthusiastically closed his computer.

"Yeah, finally," I sighed closing my sports feature. "I would better go see Lana," I told him and went to my dear friend and roommate in the entertainment department. 

I knew something was amiss as soon as I reached her cubicle. "Hey Ana, what happened?" I said in a soft voice but still it made her jump.

"Oh! It's you," she said looking relieved.

"Yeah, who else would be there at lunch at your cubicle? Superman? Or Spiderman?"

"I wish," she said with a sigh and we both cracked up.

"What happened? You look so pale. Did your boss say something?" I asked. She sighed again, making my frown even deeper.

"Don't frown so much, you'll get wrinkles," she said trying to divert my attention.

"Nah, not happening. Tell me what happened?"

"Uhm. let's talk over a couple of burgers," she said grabbing a manila envelope and her purse and led the way.

We went to a nearby diner and ordered a cheese burger and coke and sat at a nearby table.

"So many calories. I'm definitely going to break the scale this time," I asked.

"Your fault for not cooking today," She shrugged.

"So what's eating you up?" I asked her after our lunch was served.

"My next ten to fifteen articles," she said and sighed again.

"What is it about?" I asked as I took a bite of my burger. In answer to my question she slid the envelope towards me.
