A Beautiful Creation

part 38 Pointers

"Christine, I need a column here", Jb said by pointing to her architectural floor plan. They were seating on a bench at the park near her home

She shook her head, "there's glass walls there"

"O come on Tin, the beams were long enough there!"

"Tin like things long", Luke grinned while saying that so she slapped his thigh. Jb side looked at Luke on that note and snorted then took her silver calculator. Jb pushed something on it so fast like a Chinese mathematician

"We need stiffness, alright. The beam will deflect. You know that glasses can be easily crack because of that", Jb defended

Luke laughed at her friend's remark behind his sunglasses, "Stiffness, long, deflect….. I think I love your work"

"No, you're just pervert"

"JB!", she yelled softly with a smile. She slapped again her fiance because of that but the latter shrugged her off

Her friend sitting opposite her while Luke sat at her left. They were discussing about their dream house on that beautiful morning

"Fudge what am I doing this? I have a lot of junior engineers in the office. I hate working with your future husband", Jb announced

Luke laughed, "It's because I specifically requested you at Monroe's. You or no project at all"

"You are taking advantage of your client privilege so much Mr. Roberts. Tell me Tin, why at this park? Can we go to your house instead? I hate sun"

"For a woman who came from South, I can't believe you hate sun", Tin said laughing

"Skin cancer, alright", Jb blurted while tapping at the plan with her pencil

"We have spf for that", Luke replied

Jb snorted. "And because you all have white skin. It's not a big deal. I'm tan, alright, it's hard to go back to lighter tone for me if exposed to too much sun"

"You're not that tan, it's just light brownish", another girl said

Jb sighed and put down her pencil strongly, "Isn't too early for interior design?"

"She's here to see the plans. For future reference of furnitures", Luke replied. He leaned more to the girl opposite him, "Frida, how about a friendly discount? You're too expensive"

"Because you're not officially a friend. If it's Christine who will pay for it, maybe", Frida said through her cute sunglasses. Frida came there with fitted jeans and one side offshoulder blouse. She's really cute with that while exposing her neck moles

Jb leaned on her again, "What's your plan on this stairs?" Ah, Jb, all work and no play behind that jeans and poloshirt

"I like it cantilevered on landing", she replied

"No, I'm asking the materials"

"Steel stairs with glass railings", she replied

Jb shook her head, "No that would rotate the beam here." The girl pointed the beam on the walls beside the stair. "I need a column underneath. Just one"

She shook her head smiling. She knew Jb will not going to like that. "Find some ways. You're good at that", she said winking

"Aaaah I don't like you for a client!", Jb exclaimed then stand to go somewhere.

Frida faced Jb who's going away from their bench, "Where are you going?"

"Buying some drinking water Ms. Needy"
