Eric was lost and confused by now. Should he call Rachel or should he find out about what she wanted to say later? Or should he let things be natural? He hangs on the phone and dials her number and then pauses and cleared the screen. Having second thoughts again, he dials the number with excellence. But it's that moment, that he cannot face, the very moment to press the call button, he hesitates and stops the call again. What is going on in his mind? What's he doing?
Eric walks past the coffee machine and was invited by Raymond to join him at lunch at the cafeteria while he brags about his new TV. I asked him... have you no sense of humanity? have you forgotten about Monique and how upset she is that you've not spend time with her? He gave it a thought and replies... "She can have the recipe cooking shows". Sigh~ He doesn't get it and I gave up. At the cafeteria, Carol was reading one of her files while Gil was queueing up to get some sandwiches. He helped bought some and brought it over to Eric. A call came through and Eric's cousin would be in town. So, Eric went off to picks her up from the local station. Wow! How pretty has Ashley grown up to be. At the station, Rachel was there as well and she was coming out of the Italian Restaurant. Ashley asked who I was staring at and I didn't had a good look at who she was with. Anyway, driving Ashley back to my apartment, left me kept thinking and being curious, distracts my poor driving. Oh my... what am I doing? Eric, are you nuts? Are you insane over Rachel? I might have... Eric then picks up the call but at this instant, Monique calls and so, she asked Eric out to meet her in the bar.
After dropping Ashley back, Eric heads over to The Flow and listens to Monique telling him about what's being going on with Ray and her. Poor girl, so neglected. Oh, meanwhile, Eric tried to find out more about who Rachel was with earlier on. Apparently, this editor for a local popular magazine is very interested in Rachel and is deemed Eric's competitor. Eric was paged and called back to the hospital then. Just before Eric left, Zeta came over and agreed to accompany Monique bowling while comforting her.
Back at the hospital, Carol shows a case to Eric and discuss about the cause of a very erossive skin patient. It was not possible to understand yet, what had triggered the skin disease but it certainly isn't the first case within the week. Gilbert came in and shows another record of certain lab tests and immediately jumps into a conclusion to say what is in common is they had in contact, which is a particular shower foam brand. Carol argued back and said that it's already tested and insist that it's not. As we know that Carol is a particular debater, she can debate on with Gil for hours, therefore, Eric left the discussion room first and decides to come back later when they are done. Knowing Carol, she's the type that needs to be pampered and constantly seeks attention from Gilbert, else she will throw a tantrum. It had to be due to her past experience that caused her to be fuzzy over her relationship and she often losses confidence easily, if Gilbert doesn't gives in. Gil is the tolerating type, and therefore, he tries hard to maintain this relationship.
Eric came back to the room after having a nice bottle of juice and surprisingly, after 30mins, they're not done yet. Ok, I think I would have gone for a smoke if I actually do. "What is the problem with you? I'm just sick & tired of you, I'm fed up of you judging my ability to work!"... Carol threw those words hard at Gil and left. Gil is a little hard headed once in awhile. I took Gil down and asked Ray to join us too. Ray would be late as he had to rush off some "unfinished" paperwork (yeah, we all know why, it has got to be because of the Man U matches).. Zeta came by and talked to Gil as well. The both of us would have told Gil not to be so hard on Carol as he really did go too far earlier on. "Eventhough you know that you both are inseperatable, but it doesn't mean that you don't have to say sorry to her. You both almost broke up earlier on." I shredded some advise to Gil. Zeta added and shared some girl experiences to him.
Gil and Carol were not on talking terms for almost a week and Zeta and I decided to do something to pull them both back together again. So Zeta suggested that we all have a pot luck party. The day came and I was preparing all the condiments. In came Rachel suddenly and we smiled. Then came Steve, the editor guy! Ok, so she invited him... I'm fine with it! Ray had to help out after that cause he was BANNED from TV! Yup, Monique took Zeta's advise and I'm practically giggling over it. Outside at the living room, Jack (my naughty neighbour, a divorced inspector & womanizer) was hitting on Eric's cousin, Ashley. *Ahem*... so they broke the commotion and helped out with the table... Carol walked in with her specialty... fruit salad. Zeta just got off my phone only to hear that Gil's gonna be late as he's still expecting a delivery from a soon-to-be mother. Ok, so we started without him. Ashley went over to Jack's apartment to pick out some books and cds during dessert. Rachel took this time to show Steve out the door as well, as he had to leave for New York early the next morning. Half way through the party, Gilbert managed to arrive. We told Gil to try and patch things up. While he was trying to do so, Ashley came back with Jack. Ashley saw Gil and walks up to him then hugs him from behind. Then, suddenly, everything was on a stand still. Carol was in a big surprise with her eyes about to pop out. Gilbert turned around and saw Ashley. "Holy Shit!"... cried Gilbert. Ashley then replied.. "You looked like you've seen a ghost, darling... Just because we broke up years ago doesn't mean that I'm dead and all out of your feelings, right?" Carol gave Gilbert the tightest slap she could ever imagined then stormed out the front door. Gil tried to get to Carol but Ashley keeps bugging attached to Gil. Eric managed to unbarred Ashley off Gilbert and let him went on his hunt for Carol. Zeta and Rachel retained Ashley while Gilbert dashed off. He managed to intercept Carol at the gate. He then pulls Carol back and stood by Eric to demand an explanation. Eric told Carol that she shouldn't be jealous as they used to be couples only. Ashley is only being playful and did not know that Gil's attached currently.
Gil then started to shout out to everyone that there has been a misunderstanding lately and he doesn't want this to continue on anymore. He expressed his love to Carol with his knees on the ground and apologizes. He continued with his pardon for forgiveness. Carol started to have tears rolling down her cheeks as she hears that and hugs Gilbert. Gil raised his hand up high and swears that he's willing to do anything for her as long as she doesn't leave him ever again. He just wants her to take him back. Rachel also had a tear in her eyes as she saw such a romantic scene. She's the soft and sentimental type. Very passionate and romantic. Eric took that chance and offered her a tissue while placing his arm across her shoulder. It's a nice gesture but the feeling was intensely awesome when he felt her head resting on his shoulder.
