Use the Present Simple or the Present Continuous.
I work in a large office with about thirty other people, most of whom I (know) quite well. We (spend) most of the day together, so we have all become friends. In fact, most of my colleagues are so interesting, that I (think) of writing a book about them!
Take Helen Watson, for example. Helen (run) the account de-partment. At the moment she (go out) with Keith Ballantine, one of the sales representatives, and they (seem) very happy together:
But
everyone except Helen (know) that Keith always (make) eyes at Susan Parker. But I (happen) to know that Susan (dislike) Keith.
'I can't
stand people who (apologize) all the time!' she told me. 'And besides, I know he (deceive) poor Helen. He (see) Betty Wills from the overseas department.'
And plenty of other interesting things (go on). For instance, every week money (disappear) from the petty cash box. When you realize that someone in your office is a thief, it (upser) you at first. But I also (try) to catch whoever it is before the police are called in. I'm not going to tell you who I (suspect). Well, not yet anyway.
