Walking out of the elevators of the Jeager firm into the lobby, I'm met with Historia and another man at the receptionist desk.

"Hey, Ava! You got the position?" Historia asked with her signature smile on her face.

"Oh, I got the position, alright." I set my purse down on the marble lip of the desk. I looked to my left and looked at the man before me. He had light brown hair in almost a mullet style, amber eyes, and a ghost of a goatee on his chin. He was dressed in a formal black suit and black dress shoes.

"Hi, I'm Jean. I'm assuming you're Ava?" His voice broke me away from my thoughts, and his hand extended.

"Ava Ackerman." Taking his hand and shaking it, his face paled exactly like how Historia's had when she heard my full name.

"Nice to meet you, Ava." His expression quickly turned back to normal. "Glad to know you'll be working here with us." He said with a smirk.

"Me, as well. This place is a good start to start my career," I smiled at him. "Well, I should be going now. I have to get some things in order before my first day tomorrow." Picking up my purse, I waved at both of them and walked out.

——

"Carsyn?" I yelled out as I walked into my apartment, setting my purse down on the kitchen counter and hanging my keys up on the rack. I palmed my forehead, the events of today playing on a loop in my head.

Fuck me running.

I took my heels off as soon as I stepped into my room and placed them neatly back in the closet and shed the rest of my clothes.

Putting on a comfy t-shirt and shorts, I laid back in my bed and started playing music from my t.v.

Out of nowhere, Carsyn busts into my room with a plastic bag full of weed and wraps.

"You got the job, we're celebrating."

——

"So, tell me. How did it go?" Carsyn said, his voice strained from inhaling the thick smoke and passed the blunt back to me.

"Well, it went good. Not much to say," I took a deep hit from the blunt, pausing my sentence. "Other than the fact that he pinned me up against the wall of my new office." I said as I exhaled.

Carsyn's jaw swung open. "He fucking what?"

After retelling the events of today to Carsyn, he started laughing. Like dying laughing.

"It's not fucking funny."

"That is fucking hilarious, babes."

I put my head in my hands and sighed.

"He's my boss, Syn. My boss-" My head shot up from my hands and I squinted my eyes at Carsyn. "You know what, give me that shit!" I snatched the blunt from his hands which made him laugh even harder.

——

The next morning, I was already on my way to my new job, with the boss who wants to punish me. I was thirty minutes ahead of schedule so maybe that would change his mind.

I gave my keys to Floch, walked inside and said "Hi" to Historia, and made my way inside the elevator.

"Hold it!"

Eren rushes into the elevator and wipes his forehead of the few beads of sweat that had formed there.

"Good morning, Ava." He said as he straightened his tie.

He looked absolutely delicious today. Clad in a black and white striped suit jacket and matching slacks, which fit him almost too perfectly. He had a white button-up under the suit jacket and black dress shoes to match his outfit.

"Ava?" His voice cut me from my thoughts, an eyebrow raised.

"Good ev- morning, Mr. Jeager." I bit my lip in nervousness. He totally caught me fucking staring.

And, god dammit, he's smirking now.

"Flustered?" He smirked.

"A little bit, yes. I apologize, sir." I said, my lip between my teeth.

"You better fucking fix it before you fuck up on your first day," His voice hardened, sending volts all throughout my body. "It's your floor, Ava. I'll be checking up on you." He motioned to the elevator doors opening.

I muttered a goodbye and walked out of the elevator to my office. Shutting the doors behind me, I sank halfway against the wall.

What in the blue fuck is wrong with him?
