Hi friends :)) I've survived two of my finals so far :D so here's this while I have a short break from an easy final tomorrow. Only warning is some weird creepy dude hitting on you <3 Also if any of you lovlies ever need ANYTHING I'm here to talk about it all!!!
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH BY THE WAY!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!
I had a high rank in the company I was working for. I was at every meeting and the employer of hundreds, and I had my sights set higher. I was also popular on social medias with check marks on every platform. The manager of my branch of the company then entered my office. Knocking on the door lightly as he entered as to not startle me.
"Hey y/n, how are you doing today?" Christian smiled at me.
"I'm doing great how are you today sir?" I replied happily. He just hummed in agreement which I assumed was him saying he was having a good day too. I became a bit curious and looked up from my laptop and stopped typing the email I was writing.
"So there is a big ball coming up for one representative from each branch of the company, and as one of the fastest growing branches we were allowed to send two." He spoke as he looked up at me he smiled lightly and I knew where this was going. "So I've decided to send you and Bryce." My heart dropped. The Bryce. My coworker who was always hitting on me and has tried to harass me in the past. I forced a smile onto my face.
"Wow this is an amazing honor thank you so much" I forced out trying my hardest to not cry.
"Everyone is also allowed a plus one if you'd like to, I know you don't have anyone special but maybe you can find someone." Christian said to me softly. I nodded at him and my mind started racing with people I could bring with me to the ball. Hopefully to protect me from my gross coworker.
"Yea sure I can do that thank you so much Christian. I'm going to finish this email and go shopping for the ball if that's ok with you." I spoke hoping he'd let me off early so I could go cry with a tub of ice cream and a re run of a race tonight at home. He nodded and gave a short noise of agreement before wishing me a good day and leaving my office. I let out a sigh of relief and finished typing up the email. I hit send and grabbed my laptop, book, water bottle and my bag and headed towards the elevator. I looked up at just the wrong moment and made eye contact with Bryce. Crap crap crap please don't follow me please don't follow me. It was almost like I jinxed myself because he started walking towards me, I looked down and rushed into the elevator mashing the lobby button and spamming the close door button hoping the doors would close before he had the chance to get in.
Unfortunately to my demise, he made it and walked into the elevator. He smiled at me and before he could begin talking my phone started ringing. It was a spam call, but it was perfect because I could pretend it was a boyfriend. You hit the decline button but pretended to swipe across the bottom of the screen acting like you answered. You brought the phone to your ear and smiled.
"Hey baby I'm heading to your apartment now perfect timing!" I chirped happily. I waited a few seconds and started giggling and covered my face pretending like I was blushing at something he said. Bryce huffed annoyed from the other side of the elevator. YESSS ITS WORKING. I mentally celebrated so ready for this ride to be over. After another minute of Bryces annoyed sighing and my giggles and flirty comments to my fake boyfriend the elevator doors slid open and I pretended to be nice by nodding at Bryce as I walked out of the elevator. He stayed put and his jaw slacked watching you walk away. I mentally danced around and celebrated that I escaped.
"Goodbye Emilia! Have a good rest of the day I'm out early today so make sure everything up there is under lock and key" I smiled to Emilia. She was the security guard and my only friend. She smiled at me and nodded. She was terrifying, but an absolute sweetheart off the clock.
