Aaliyah
I yawn as I enter the office late the next day. Taehyung and I were up very late and I'm a bit behind this morning. I'm never late so it shouldn't be a big deal but when I see Armin making his way toward me with a deep frown between his eyes, I wonder if I'm wrong. Shit.
"You're late. Very late."
I'm sick and tired of him treating me like dirt but he is my boss, I don't exactly have the high ground here "I'm running a little behind, yes. But I was really busy with my client yesterday. It's taken up a lot of time and let's not forget on how it also take a lot of my free time because the client is demanding." It's the truth after all.
"I don't like the pattern I'm seeing with you and I don't like your attitude."
"Excuse me?!"
"I'm having my eyes on you, Aaliyah. Consider this a warning."
"Wait, warning for what? To be fired?"
He walks off and I stare at him in shock. Is he fucking with me? Im just about to storm after him and demand an explanation when's voice behind me stops me
"So this is where you put yourself into?"
I turn and my mouth drops open "Peach Salinger? Wha—-what are you doing here?"
"Ah, so you remember me. Did you see my TV appearance a few days ago?"
I give her a confused look "I did..."
"So if you saw it.....You must know that I asked the author of 'On The Market' to reach out to me. So why you holding back? Why didn't you get in contact with me?" Saying it all with a devilish smile on her face.
Did Peach just say what I think she just said?!
"Ah I see that I've surprised you. Yes, I know who you are, Aaliyah."
How?!
She leans in closer with an exaggeratedly conspiratorial smile on her face "I know that you're the author of 'On The Market'"
Should I tell her the truth? Does it have a point now to hide it? But fuck I don't want the world to know......can I just not be in my bed the whole time? Let me just act clueless, maybe that will help? "I....don't know what you're talking about."
"Aaliyah if you don't mind, I don't have time for dishonesty. Do me a favour and just be straight with me. I know for a fact you're the author, so let's agree not to lie to one another, okay?"
Ugh fuck it "okay, shit, I wrote it. But please don't tell anyone."
"I don't see why you're ashamed, though your secret is safe with me."
