Y/n Pov:

When I saw Oncelers mother coming into office I pushed him away. My face has gotten quite red. "I'm gonna go now-" - "Nono, stay. What is it mom?" Onceler said quick, still standing beside me. I felt kinda weird.

Is he going to tell her right away? Or why does he want me to stay. I went silent and listend to them, for now.

Onceler Pov:

I regreted this the moment I saw my mom coming in, and I didn't even know what I was trying to do.

"Oncie, can you tell me what this was about?" She asked

"Don't worry, mom, we were just discussing about..things and I actually just wanted to tell you about what we talked about" Her face wasn't pleased at all, like she already knew what y/n convinced me to. She gave her even a side-eye.

Carefully I talked again "So, I thought about this for a long time and I think it should be best to hire people that could pick up the material for the Thneeds."

It really helped that y/n stayed to get over my nervousness when telling her my point, because I didn't had to do this on my own.

"I know that you want to help me and get my company to the maximum, but if we don't at least plant trees, they'll be gone at some point, you know?"

Silence. It didn't even seemed like she had an argument against that. "If you really think that should be the best way and that this is worth of pishing your family away, then do as you please"

My eyes widend. Did she just said, that I was pushing them away? Before I could even say anything, y/n talked, sounding slightly pissed: "Are you kidding me? Just because he doesn't want to do it your way doesn't mean he's pushing you or anybody from his family away!"

Annoyed eyes met her, she turned around "Let's see how far this will bring you. If you change your mind feel free to tell me" and left the the office.

I sighted and sat down on my chair. "Thanks for defending be, but I think that didn't help that much." - "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I wanted to talk back to her all this time, you know"

I had to chuckle "I understand. I mean, it's quite amusing to see you with that much temper"

A sight same out of my mouth while I looked at my desk. Thinking about what we could do to get this buisness into a long therm thing.

Y/n looked at me, worried, like if she could read minds. "If you're not sure if the company will survive such investment to hire so many people, you can still try to get investors. There should be plenty enough, willing to invest in your Thneed."

That gave me hope. "That sounds great, y/n. I'll give it a call and inform you if and when they'll come. You should keep preparing our business trip, yes?" She nodded

"And, y/n?" I said, while she was about to left my office "Yes, Ocele-, Oncie?"

I had to smile at her correction.

"Do you perhaps, want to look around in town, while were there to get the new contract?" She looked at me, surprised. Was her reaction a good thing?

"Well, uhm, yeah sure, but that does sound like a-" - "Like what? Like a date you mean? We can call it like that if you want" I smirked.

"Eh- nonono, thats not what I meant! Ugh, you dummy!" With a blushing face she just left my office. A quite laugh escaped my mouth. She was always like that, when I did such things.

The quietness got me back into thinking. I just couldn't belevie that I broke my promise and might even destroyed my whole company because of simply trusting my family so blindly. Even though the worst part would be loosing her...

The closer we became, the more I felt a weird feeling in my stomach. Ticklish. With my heart beating faster and me getting those weird thoughts. Like.. Holding each other, spending more time together and ...kissing?

Was it that what I wanted to do earlier? But she didn't seemed that happy with it. Or was she just confused that I did the frist step? I need to get her to be more honest with her feelings.

I couldn't stand dragging her into something.

Y/n Pov:

It was hard getting my red face to calm down. I was so confused. Never would I have thought that the relationship I had with the Onceler would have been like that.

I thought about all the time we spend together, even though it was since last week just at work, he never made such moves. Or is he testing me?

Now I had to ask myself. Do I have feeling for Onceler? I mean, I do get all ticklish when he got this close to me and it was a good feeling hugging him.

If he maybe, just maybe, doesn't play around, I could try, couldn't I? Especially after he came to his sences and heard to what I said, right?

Right now I had to get to work. Onceler wants me to keep preparing our buissness trip to a town thats far away, to make a contract, so we can sell Thneeds to them as well.

Isabella (Oncelers Mom) Pov:

I was mad, really mad. How could such a stupid, little girl step in my way to help my precious boy to get the success he deserves?! Thats unacceptable!

I have to find a way to get her out of the way! The last time she talked this nonsece into him it was a real hard time getting him to trust me again. It now she was with him, so I couldn't get any further, when she just talked back to me.

But how am I going to do that? I wonder.
