(Y/N) could tell that Harry really wanted to talk to her, but he's been in meetings since lunch. He did follow her immediately after she left the sticky note and walked out of his office, but he got stopped by someone coming up and asking him a question. So, she was able to leave their floor and go take a breather away from him.

What did she expect? That he would want to go on a real date with her? It's just not something that should happen. So, she's drawing a line now and she's done with whatever he had planned for her. It's causing much more trouble than she'd ever anticipated.

She never thought she'd be feeling almost hurt over this. She didn't want to. She wanted to forget about it and move on and show him that he couldn't even touch her. But she can't lie. She feels a little betrayed.Which is not something she was expecting either. And she feels stupid. Because how could she let him get to her like this? They've been "dating" for such a short time, she didn't ever think that this would be something she's thinking about. She was never supposed to kiss him. She was never supposed to want to kiss him even. It's just business and she took it too far.

Since Harry has been in so many meetings, all he can do at the moment is send her longing stares as he passes her desk. He can't stop and talk to her because he's so busy. And she's so glad about it. Because if he would have talked to her after she left his office, he probably would have her right where he wants her again. And (Y/N) is not letting that happen.

She wanted to leave for the day before his last meeting let out, but she's not going to run from him. She has something to tell him actually and she's not leaving until she does. So, she waited at her desk, scrolling mindlessly through her computer. She could be doing real work, but she doesn't want to. It's not worth it. And that work she could be doing would be work that would benefit Harry and she's not in the mood for anything like that.

When his meeting finally ended, she watched as he went into his office, probably to set his things down and then come back out here and try to apologize or explain himself. But she's not in the mood for that either.

She stood and walked right into his office and shut the door behind her. He turned, looking a bit surprised that she just came in. He probably didn't expect her to come find him. She didn't even close the door behind her because this is going to be short and sweet.

"(Y/N). Can we talk—"

"I don't want to help you anymore. And if that means firing me, so be it. I don't want any part of it and that's all I really have to say to you." She wanted to storm out after saying that, but decided to be nice this once and give him the chance to say something.

"You're not even going to listen to me then? Is that it?" He's still standing on the other side of his desk, expression completely neutral like he doesn't even care. Like this conversation is just another task for him to check off his list. And it's irritating and (Y/N) is getting really tired of him.

"What do you have to say? I think I know exactly what happened." She can admit that she's not really being fair by not being willing to hear him out, but right now she doesn't even want to look at him. She needs to get out of this office and away from him and think for just a moment. It feels like she's suffocating.

"You do? Then why the fuck would I ask you out on a date today if just last night I was messing around with Natalie? Doesn't seem logical." He shrugged it off again, making her all the more agitated.
