We had to go back to the office because of an urgent case. I've been cursing the cause of the problem since then, in my mind obviously.

"Hi guys." Says the enthusiastic voice of Alec Kingston, who decided to call Chase and act like someone broke into his office while he was visiting. The little grin on his face assured us that nothing happened.

"Hi Celly." He says in that annoying cheery voice. I lunge forward but am pulled back by someone named Chase tugging the back of my sweater.

"Ow. What was that for? You pulled it out of my pants!" I exclaimed. Annoying man.

"You're not hitting him before me."

"Get lost." I say before stomping towards the washroom. "Where were you?" I heard Alec asking but I decided to act like I didn't hear him. Idiot ruined my date.

I quickly fixed my blouse and tied my hair back before walking out. They were both gone from the lobby. I went to my office, barely 2 minutes passed when Alec entered with now bruised jaw. "Motherfucker punched me for scaring him." He tells me.

"Come here, honey." I saw sweetly. He rolls his eyes at that and plops his ass on my desk.

"Where were you?" He asks, wiggling his brows comically.

"Out."

"Out where? Lydia told me you were on a date, ofcourse I didn't believe her, so tell me."

"Excuse me? Why can't you believe that? I was infact on a date." I cross my arms, huffing out a breath.

He snorted. "Who are you trying to kid? That's my bestfriend. I know-"

"Alexander, get the fuck out of my building." Chase interrupts his mini explanation. "I hate it when he uses my full name." He whispers to me before turning.

"ChaseBlack, stop shouting." He says, saying his full name as one. Idiot. "I'll come back for you Celly." He says before kissing my cheek soundly, trying to piss Chase off.

"Stop kissing my assistant!"

Alec just grins before lowering his voice again but not enough to make sure Chase heard what he's saying. "He has a crush on you."

"That's it. I'm kicking your ass out." He snaps but Alec runs out before he can touch him. "Call me asshole." He shouts before disappearing from there.

"So.." I start but he's already entering his office. Huh.

That asshat.

I walk into his office, he's standing near the window or you can say wall. I stand beside him and look at the view. Damn, it's beautiful yet scary. Do you ever wonder if you put a little pressure on the glass, it will break and you'll die? Because I do everytime I look out of here, just like I think the fan is going to fall on me or the ceiling.

"Can I leave?" I ask.

"No."

Whatever.

I change the topic. "How much did you like the half date?"

"Go away."

Ignore him. "Was it nice?"

He frowns before saying, "Go back to your office."

"Was it better than your previous ones or worse?" I ask. I'm not going to stop until I get an answer, he should know that by now.

"I don't date." He says flatly.

Well, okay.

"I never thought of you as the booty call type, you know I used to think you have that Christian Grey thing going on." I tell him my little theory.

"Who the fuck is Christian Grey?" He asks, annoyed with me.

"Oh he's a hot character from fifty shades, I'll suggest you to watch it with me but that'll be awkward and unprofessional as fuck." I say, dismissing the thought.

You're not allowed to talk about professionalism.

Why does my subconscious talk too much? Bitch.

"Are you hungry?" I say at the say same time he says, "Do you ever shut up?"

"Yes." I say while nodding my head in no. "Why are you so sad?" I ask. More like grumpy, he's such an idiot, I don't know how he became so rich. I wish I had some money, I would've bought a house in woods, away from people and live like a normal person but with luxuries. I won't even have to work then.

"I'm not sad." He replies.

"I think you need a good nap. Go home." I say, nodding to myself.

"Get out of my office Reed."

Fine, a girl can try. I decide to take a look at my dumbass friends and went down to the accounting department. Like I imagined, Melissa and Logan were chatting with each other.

"Hi assholes." I say, walking up to them. Logan jumps in surprise. "Celeste!" He exclaims, keeping a hand over his racing heart I think.

"You didn't join us for lunch." Mel says.

"Hello to you too Mel."

She rolls her eyes, "Your phone was switched off too, but but but, we had this amazing wrap from the place down the road, it was awesome!" She says, closing her eyes.

"Okay, no need to make me feel bad. I was out with Chase." I tell them, taking a seat on the desk.

"CELESTE REED." I hear the loud voice of their manager. Shit. I quickly step down from the desk. "We're going out tonight. Drinks on me, I'm not hanging out with you guys alot these days, so for that" I say that as fast as I can before straightening up. "Mr. Black wanted to know about that account. Thank you for you help Mr. Summers, Ms. Court." I say loudly so that the old manager can hear.

"I know Mr. Black wanted nothing from here. You don't fool me anymore." The manager says, whose name I can never remember for some reason. "Go back before he actually has something to discuss with me." She says sternly before narrowing her eyes.

Fine old lady, no need to get your knickers in a twist huh. I raise my hands in air before going back to the top floor.

I can't wait for this day to be over and drown my sorrows in rum.
