Alya's POV

   "Lola, I think I'm having an emergency!"  I say to her on the phone.  "Alright.  I'll be over."

.....

Lola is in the living room of my penthouse with me.  We sit down on one of the couches.  "Ok, so, what's the big emergency?  Are you hurt?"

"I......I think I like Robin!"  "Ok?"  "But she's my employee!"  "That's never stopped you before."  "I know, but......I don't just wanna fuck her.  I actually.....like her......and I don't want her to think that I'm just trying to get in her pants.  I know how she feels about me being the boss and interacting with my employees in a more intimate way."

"She broke you, didn't she?"  "......Yes.  But I like it!  I was a total dick before.  I was......I was lousy.  No one actually had respect for me.  They just feared me.  I used intimidation tactics to get what I wanted.  I want to be good enough for her.  She's made me realize that I should be a good person just to be a good person. There's no motive behind it."

"I honestly in a million years never thought I'd hear this from you.  It's a good change, though.  What about her makes you actually like her?"

"I like who she is.  She's nice, she's actually really chill.  She's genuine.  She stands up for herself and others.  She's the opposite of who I used to be.  I wanna go slow with her, though.  I wanna be friends first."

"Do you think she could reciprocate these feelings?"  "I don't know.  I hope so."  "Looks like you have to make her fall for you,"  She pats me on my shoulder.  "I believe you can do it, though."

"One day, I hope I can tell her how I feel."
