The Never Working Organ II. | Kaebedo |

Chapter 34 : Close Your Eyes.

"Meet Pantalone? That's a strange request. Is there a particular reason you'd want to meet him?" Albedo was getting suspicious now.

"No reason...I guess I'd just like to be more familiar with the members in your organization. You know?" Nikolai made it seem as believable as he could, but he didn't do a great job.

Albedo let out a soft sigh and looked away and eyed his phone.

"Fine." Albedo put down his notebook and grabbed his phone then dialed Pantalone's number.

When Pantalone heard the annoying ringing of his phone, he already expected it to be Albedo.

Does he already know?
Pantalone had to admit he was a little...scared, for once.

He hovered his hand over his phone for a second or two before picking up.

"Hello, Mr. Kreideprinz."

"Pantalone, please come to my office."

Pantalone gripped his phone a little harder.

"Of course. I'll be there right away."

"Thank you."

Albedo was the first to hang up, leaving Pantalone and his thoughts alone together.

Pantalone slammed his phone on his desk. "Fuck." He muttered angrily.

"That bastard Dottore." Pantalone pulled at his hair with a low groan.

He took a deep breath to relax before fixing his hair and leaving for Albedo's office. Foolishly not noticing the intruder.

Vera smirked as she watched Pantalone leave.

Thank you, Nikolai.
Vera then snuck into Pantalone's office, closing and locking the door behind her.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd assume you were planning something." Albedo slyly said, looking back at Nikolai.

"Oh, yeah?" Nikolai disguised his nervousness with a cocky smirk.

"To be honest, you have been a little suspicious." Those moments with Nikolai flashed in Albedo's mind.

Shit. He had to get that idea out of Albedo's mind. But how?

I have an idea...God, I hope this works.
Nikolai cupped Albedo's face on one side as he spoke, "Maybe I am planning something."

Albedo dug his fingernails into his palm.
What is he doing?

Nikolai leaned into Albedo, their noses almost touching. "Well, are you gonna stop me?" he whispered.

Albedo wanted to be into this. He really did, it's just—Nikolai, he wasn't—...it was hard to explain.

I want him to stop touching me. Please get away from me.
Albedo backed away a little bit but ended up hiding his back on his desk.

I'm sorry Albedo.
Nikolai put a hand on Albedo's hip as he leaned in and—

"I'm sorry if I took long Mr. Kreideprinz," Pantalone stopped in the doorway, he stared at the situation his boss was in.

Albedo jerked his head to Pantalone, he was relieved, but also a bit embarrassed.

"Should I—come back later?" Pantalone tilted his head to the side, baffled.

"No, no." Albedo slide out of Nikolai's grasp and brushed himself off. Pantalone examined Albedo with his eyes, you didn't have to be a genius to figure that he was uncomfortable with Nikolai.

Albedo put his hand up like he was presenting something, "And this is Nikolai, he wanted to meet you." Pantalone's gaze shifted to Nikolai.

"Hm." Pantalone gave him a hard stare, Nikolai looked everywhere except at  Pantalone.

"Hey, Pantalone..." Nikolai did a little wave.
