**********************************************

You shook your hands, taking a deep breath as Shoko smoothed her hands down your arms. "Are you ready, [Y/n]? The elevator dinged as you looked at the LED display showing that you were approaching your floor. You slowly nodded, instinctively reaching for your necklace that was no longer there, and you didn't know how or where it got lost. It is honestly poetic in a way. I lost the necklace the same day I lost the guy. I'm really living life.

You hadn't gone to work or had seen Gojo because it was the weekend, meaning that you and Shoko were able to marathon all the episodes of bad reality TV you wanted to while treating yourself to a homemade spa, ice cream, chocolates, and of course, wine.

Your fingertips were brushing the collar of your white shirt dress that you paired with gold heels and a matching white bag. Shoko notices the behavior, giving you a sad smile.

"You know, it's okay if you still have feelings or an emotional connection to him. It takes some time to move past that."

You let out a dry chuckle, shaking your head, "Feelings? Don't be ridiculous, Shoko. That man means nothing to me, and I'm feeling splendid and ready to start my day."

The door opened, and you began walking towards your office, your strides confident as the gold bracelets on your wrist jangled and you dangled your sunglasses in your hand, bag resting on your forearm. Shoko walked behind you, mentally sighing. Your body language two seconds ago said quite the opposite [Y/n], but I'll give you that you do put up an amazing front. I just hope that doesn't end up hurting you more.

You looked around the hallways seeing that it was clear thinking, Hmph, this is a great start to what will be a productive week. You passed by the kitchen and lounge area when you saw Maki and the other co-workers waving good morning to them.

Catching movement in the corner of your eye, you shifted your head slightly to see Nanami and— him. Not giving him a second glance, you waved good morning to Nanami and continued on your way to your office, saying goodbye to Shoko having to take different hallways.

Back in the lounge area, the younger workers had set off to start their assignments, leaving only Gojo and Nanami as Nanami fixed himself a cup of English breakfast tea.

Gojo pushed his black glasses up the bridge of his nose, sighing, "She looks stunning, alluring as always," a pout settling on his lips. He tugs on the sleeve of Nanami's beige suit, whining, "Nanamiiii, what do I do? I need to fix this."

Nanami stirs in some cream and sugar, lifting the yellow mug with black polka dots that Itadori had gifted to him recently for his birthday to match his favorite tie. He sipped the tea, letting out a hum of satisfaction and clearing his throat, "I wouldn't talk to her, Gojo."

Gojo gasped, clasping his hands, "That's it! I'm going to talk to her and convince her of my feelings." Gojo nodded his head in pride over his plan.

A vein of irritation formed on Nanami's forehead, "What part of wouldn't do you not understand, idiot?"

Gojo ruffled Nanami's hair earning a deadly glare as he answered, "You said that you wouldn't talk to her. So I will, and it'll be perfect. And it's not like she can get rid of me as easily as cutting a phone call. So she'll hear me out and fall in love with me!"
