Chaos of the heart (Batman x Reader)

Chapter 4 Dinner

*sigh* here I am.
I walked my last few steps toward Armadale, one of the fanciest restaurants in town. I've already seen my boss Mr Davis looking pretty smart in a shirt and jacket, because he usually only wears brown trousers and a white shirt with suspenders.

"You look good Mister Davis!"

"Ahhh (y/n) thanks, nice to see you, you don't look bad either!" I was wearing something smart but casual at the same time (outfits like above)

"Thank you sir!.... Um, do you have any idea what Mr Wayne wants to talk to us about?"

"Hmmm... I don't know, but we'd better go in, I think he's already inside"

I looked at the clock and saw that it was 7p.m. "yes, that would be a good idea"

My boss held the door open for me and we went inside. Mr Davis went to the woman at the reception and announced us, a colleague of hers took our coats from us and the woman led us to a table where Mr Wayne was already sitting and drinking a brandy. When he saw us he got up and shook our hands.

"Good evening Mr Davis, thank you for your time and your beautiful worker" he winked at me, I just rolled my eyes.

Bruce offered his hand and I took it because it was still a business dinner and I needed to appear professional, but instead of shaking it he brushed his lips against the back of my hand and winked at me again.
>Wow his lips are soft! What? No brain stop< I felt my cheeks blush and just looked perplexed from Mr Wayne to my boss who just shrugged as he sat down as if to say it was apparently normal for people like him.

I just shook my head slightly to get my thoughts back in order. I saw Mr Wayne try to pull my chair out for me but I was faster than him and sat down by myself. I just saw him have that crooked smile and shake his head slightly as he sat down.
When everyone was seated, Mr Davis opened his mouth but Mr Wayne immediately cut him off as if he knew what he was going to say.

"Before we talk about anything business Mr. Davis I would say that we are going to eat something first. You can order whatever you want, it's on me!" he said while our waiter handed us the menus.

Everyone ordered something to eat and Mr Wayne and Mr Davis talked a lot about other business and stuff, I just sat there and nodded most of the time. Mostly I noticed Bruce looking at me and winking at me when I casually glanced at him, sometimes his foot would brush mine too, which I'm starting to think wasn't accidental.

After everyone had eaten it was time for business.

"So Mr Davis, Ms Anderson now it's time for business as the reason I invited you both here is that I would like to sponsor the Gotham Gazette." I choked on my drink in shock and I saw to my boss with the same look of shock in his face.
My boss cleared his throat and opened his mouth while I tried to organize my thoughts.
>Buy the Gazette? What does he want with a newspaper? Maybe he would like us to only write positive things about his company... That can't be true!? I hope Mr Davis stops this "contract"<

"Well, Mr Wayne, as you know, we are a free newspaper and..." but Wayne interrupted my boss

"... I know and it would come off as if I only want you to write in favor of Wayne Enterprise, but I don't want that. I just want to support the newspaper industry. You can still write of yourself as a free newspaper just with more capital for new equipment or something" he said casually.

My boss opened my mouth, but before anything could come out of it, I stood up in disgust, put my hands on the table and told the rich playboy my opinion.

"Listen you wannabe Samaritans, the Gotham Gazette doesn't need a handout from you, plus if we accepted it, which we never would, it would be akin to selling our dignity. Thanks but no thanks!"

My boss cleared his throat and got up as well and put a hand on my shoulder to calm me down and said something to that too.

"Well, as my employee just said, we decline your offer, thank you for the meal and goodbye Mr Wayne."

Mr Davis gently pushed me off the table towards reception but we heard Mister Wayne get up and we both turned to face him.

"I'm really sorry if I hurt you Ms Anderson, I didn't mean to upset you. Well Mr Davis, I can understand you well and accept your refusal, have a nice evening both of you." He said and walked past us to pay and go outside.
We grabbed our coats and went outside. Mr. Wayne was still standing there, probably waiting for his chauffeur, we just nodded and my boss called a taxi and turned to me.

"(y/n) do we want to share a taxi?"

"Oh no thanks Mr Davis but I think I'll walk home it's only almost 30 minutes and it's such a nice night for a digestive walk."
I just smiled at my boss and it was right the night was clear and you could see the moon and even some stars. Mr Davis just nodded and got into the taxi that just drove up, we said goodbye and it drove off. I turned on my heels and was about to start walking when I heard a deep voice behind me it was Mr Wayne who seemed to have heard everything.

"Are you sure Ms. Anderson? The streets of Gotham can be very dangerous at night, if you don't want to take a cab, I'm sure my butler would be happy to drop you off at your place."

I turned to him and tried to put on a smile because I really didn't feel like sharing a car with him.

"I'm sure Mr Wayne and I also have this with me"
I explained to him and took my pepper spray out of my coat pocket and proudly showed it to him. He just nodded slightly with a small smile on his face. >God that smile makes my knees so weak... What? Brain stop that!<
I shook that thought away as quickly as it came, turned around and started my way towards home but from behind all I could hear was Mr Wayne calling after me:

"Take care Ms Anderson, I would be devastated if anything happened to you!"
was there any sarcasm in that sentence? I didn't know, I just raised my hand and waved at him without turning around because my face was flooding with blood again and I didn't want him to see it.

> Why does this man make me blush again and again!?<
