Impress Me Not: The Architect

Chapter 3

"I can't believe we can't find his file!" the blond cried. He was this close to pulling his hair out at this point.

"It has to be around there somewhere," Will put a hand on his chin. They were walking around. "I'll leave that for Cassy to try and find."

Cassy was one of the main workers in the filing department. They made sure that every file was put in it's correct spot and sent off to the right department. And Cassy was the one of the best ones there. She knew that massive place like the back of her hand. Will and her had become good friends a long time ago.

"We could just keep following him until we figure out who's on his case," Benny said. They had been tailing this person of interest for the remainder of the day. It wasn't often that their case actually looks at someone like that. Valentino had felt more than an interest in this man that randomly sat next to him at his lunch. And they had to figure out who he was so that they could try and match the two.

It was just perfect! Valentino went from looking annoyed and aggravated that he had gotten interrupted, to happy and gladly talking about his drawing and all the ins and outs of that concert hall he dreamed of building. It was the only time they had seen him show interest in someone rather than the other way around.

He didn't really act on it, but that didn't matter. That was their job, anyway.

"That's if he has someone on his case, Benny," Will said. "There's a lot of cases that don't have a cupid assigned to them yet."

"Aww man!" he whined. "We don't even know his name!"

Will smiled and shook his head. This was definitely a problem, but it wasn't one that he was going to worry about too much. At least they finally found someone who could potentially be a good match. They had been watching their client for the past week just trying to get some kind of clue of what to do with him.

This wasn't like their last case at all. Their last case was one in which they knew almost everything about both people. This one was a bit of a mystery. Because as much as Valentino had a record of exes, his file didn't show much of his past. It seemed irrelevant, but it actually helped quite a lot when it came to finding their match.

And then there's this handsome stranger. The man had been walking around the downtown area of Amor, looking lost, if anything. Will would have to say that he was new to this place. He looked at everything with fresh eyes, enjoying all he could see. But there was some sadness too. It made him want to read his file all the more.

"So," a voice came from behind them. "You guys finally aren't shunned to the breakroom now?"

Their focus completely shifted as the both of them turned around. Will recognized that voice immediately. It was another one of their many friends that they had both made in the company.

"Sarah!" Will hugged her. "How's the rainbow hair treating you?"

"Besides the fact that I look like rainbow twizzlers?" she rolled her eyes. "It's not that bad, actually. Glad to see that you two are finally able to be out and about again."

With colorful long hair and dark eyes, Sarah always made everyone remind them of licorice. It was a common thing to mess with her about when she wasn't so busy with all of her cases.

"Justin!" Benny saw him coming up to them as well. "What are you two doing over here?"

"I could ask you guys the same question," the man said. Those mint green eyes always popped against his dark skin. It made him look unique in the best way possible. "Or I could ask you guys why you've been tailing our case for the last three hours or so."
