Vaughn POV
Why was this just not working? The man has such a symmetrical face that it's just difficult to get the same stroke I did before, even with doing one stroke on one side and then the same on the other.
I was about to throw the whole setup across the room just trying to look at the photo of the man in front of me. Yes, a photo. I was also pissed when I discovered I didn't actually have to be back in this hellhole, the boss just wanted me here.
"It's five o'clock Jaden," the boss came into the room I was in, "You can go now unless you want to stay any longer, you just won't be paid for the overtime as it isn't in the contract." The man slightly chucked before doing some weird dismissal hand movement. It was extremely awkward to watch.
"Alright thank you," I thanked before packing up my stuff. I could have left it at work but the mere thought of having to break my bank again to replace the equipment if it was destroyed or damaged had me cringing. I couldn't even imagine breaking one of the, extremely overpriced, pencils.
With that, I made my way out of the building.

Upon arriving at the hotel, I freshened myself up ready to go to the already paid-for dinner. I would normally have just headed down but as I was stuck in a hot office all day and I had to actually venture out into the public town for food, I decided it would be better to at least have a shower.
I quickly stripped and hopped in the shower - washing the icky feeling from my body before getting back out. I checked the time - I had been in the shower for 30 minutes.
I decided that food was a necessity after the overly tiring day I had and began to hear down to the lobby and into the food court. They had decent meals, the kind you would normally find at cheapish restaurants that weren't cheap enough to be classed as fast food - yet slightly more overpriced here. However, I was getting it for free so who was I to complain?
As I stepped into the building, it felt as if it all came crashing down straight onto my shoulders. There sat at a nearby table was Tobias and Alec, who were very clearly on a date. I was about to walk back out when my eyes locked with Alec's.
Shit.
Do I leave and give in or do I stay and act unbothered...?
Fuck it, he isn't deciding were I eat, and I feel like having a free meal.
