Chapter 5: Make Me

CHAPTER 5
MAKE ME

The sun is already down when Jack came back to his office from a long day attending appointments with potential investors.

His about to open his office door when a voice thundering from behind halted him.

"Dude! You fucking left me on the ship. I really thought I could get you to hang out with my girls." Von's voice echoed on the hallway.

Jack shakes his head hearing his friends' complain, "You know it's not my kind of fun, Von." He replied shrugging and continue opening the door.

Von followed him with a furrowed brows and miserable look, "You're unbelievable!" He retorted.

Jack started laughing at him. He walks to his table and started organising the scattered papers.

"I know, I know." Jack muttered smiling widely at Von who is now laying flat on his sofa.

"Let's get some drink later." He urge, just slightly raising his head to face Jack.

"I can't, I'll be busy with these." Jack pointed the papers that he's now putting inside his briefcase.

"Wow, I don't know what to say anymore." Von stated, mouth hanging down in disbelief.

"Am I the only one who got a lot of time to waste?" He continued. Von then buried his face back to the sofa feeling neglected and alone.

"I guess?" Jack jested. Von wiggled his body in frustration hearing his playful voice

Jack's attention is then directed to the door after hearing a knock. Grace came in carrying a box.

"Mr. Larson, your parcel is here." She announced.

Hearing Grace's voice, Von quickly stand up from the sofa. He cross his right leg over the other and rested his left arm on the sofa's headrest, his chin on top of his hand.

"Hello, beautiful!" He naughtily remark, getting her attention.

Grace look at his direction shyly after noticing him. She gives him a nervous smile.

"H-Hi." She uttered in complete nervousness, hiding her face behind the box she is holding.

"Cut it off, Von. You're making her uncomfortable." Jack reprimanded.

Grace's face heated more hearing what her boss said. Von on the other hand enjoyed looking at her flush face.

The latter raise his hands in the air, "Okay, fine." He surrendered with a smirk.

Scurrying, Grace handed the box to Jack without a word. She then got out lowering her head avoiding Von's presence.

"You Casanova! How dare you flirt with my secretary?" Jack retorted at Von after the door closed.

"It's fun!" He laughed pointing at the door.

Jack can't believe what he heard. Von's totally a playboy flirting with his secretary just because it's fun. 

"I wish you'll meet the woman who can change your life, man. The sooner the better."

"The hell, dude! Why are you praying for that?" He argued.
