"So...wait...hold on-"

"Nothing is changing. No names will be changing. However they'll become sister locations."

"But does that mean I'll have two different places of work? Do my workers have two places?"

"Well that's one of the reasons why you're here-"

"No. No,no, no, workers need to stay in their original locations-"

"I agree. We may be sister locations but we're still technically different from each other"

There was 4 of us. My boss, Taehyung, and a man named Yoongi. The two casinos seemed to want to join together as sister locations. Because of how close they were, they found it easier than competing constantly. And you want to know who runs Gold Touch? TAEHYUNG! Supposedly his connection to Irene made her father think it was best they merged. Not to mention, isn't it better to be partners than enemies at times?

In the room were two tired bosses and two frustrated employees...oh and a girlfriend picking out a sandwich to grab. Did I mention this was Taehyungs girlfriend?

"I think it's best that you two should work with each other to provide similar experiences at both locations" Taehyung recommended to Yoongi and I.

"Why are we even here anyway?" Yoongi questioned with a heavy sigh.

"We find you two to be the most influential in our companies. You both are also the heads in different areas and we believe if we can start with you two, the transition to training similarly will become more seamless. Start in two areas and slowly expand out." My boss explain, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Oh they were done with us. We had been in that office for at least 3 hours at that rate and Yoongi and I wouldn't stop asking questions.  We looked at each other before Yoongi spoke softly. "Agree to try this? I mean he's got a point, if they're sister locations, the service needs to be a bit similar."

I shrugged slightly and turned back to the bosses. "As long as I can get other people to cover my shift at Wild Card and I get paid whilst we work together." I said, looking at the bosses. "I can't be worrying about my employees while I'm over at Gold Touch"

The two bosses looked at each other and nodded.

Discussions over how this was all going to work continued on for another hour until finally we all began shaking hands as our goodbyes. "Y/n" Yoongi said as I shook his hand. "Let's grab dinner, here. I'll show you. The Stallion is  fantastic, we'll get to know each other."

I smiled and nodded "That would be wonderful! Would love to try! That means that I'll need to show you Kings Garden!"

We headed down and got situated at the restaurant. To be honest, it felt odd to not be in Wild Card. I mean, there was never a point in going somewhere else. Not to mention the deals you get when you work at the casino.

"So..." Yoongi began with a sigh, catching my attention. "Wild Card..how is it over there?"

I smiled. "I like it. I'm sure similar to Gold Touch.  Are you also a floor manager?"

"Yeah I am. Levels 5,9, and 3"

"Level 8"

"Oh wow so you must also handle the parties. At least that's where I heard you guys host the parties. "

"Yeah! I can't believe you knew that...yeah, they can be...special alright.."

"I can't deal with them. Find those parties irritating actually."

Mindless conversation filled our time for the most part until food finally came. Yoongi seemed to be very knowledgeable! Explains why he was at the meeting. Not going to lie though, I still didn't fully get why I was there and not a similar worker.

We became silent as we began eating before I decided to break the silence. "So uh...does Mr.Kims girlfriend always do that? Just sit there?"

The question ALONE got Yoongi's eyes rolling a bit. He sighed before continuing. "You know...she's real nice...but sometimes I wish she...didn't think she had to be there..."

He went on. "To be honest?...I don't think Taehyung likes her as much anymore"

"Anymore?" I questioned. Suddenly I felt like I was back in school, gossiping. I could feel the weight of professionalism being lifted and I couldn't help but let my easygoing side come running in. "Alright, now I'm invested. You can't leave me with 'anymore', start talking."

Yoongi smirked, I guess feeling the same way as me, light. He leaned in and spilt, "Alright...Bianca and Taehyung worked here together, used to be under me actually. Well, they hit it off and were like the love birds of the century. Seemed great for years, you know?"

"Years?!" I gasped softly and dramatically.

"Years! But I think they're both miserable now. She can go on and on about what he does for work but doesn't even know his birthday. He can tell you her birthday but will never remember her mothers name. I just don't think they have anything in common."

"Why do they stay with each other than?" I asked, beginning to cut into my food

"Not even really sure anymore..Guilt maybe?"

"Guilt?" I questioned as he took a sip of his drink.

"Yeah" he said as he placed down his drink. "They fought for their relationship for I don't know...2 years? His dad was heavily against them, said it would distract him too much."

We both fell quiet and looked down at our food and drinks, unsure how much further we wanted to keep the conversation going. I mean I barely know the guy and now I know all his relationship drama. Is that all that professional?

"I know...at least one thing though.." Yoongj said after awhile. "He may not be happy, but he'd never go and hurt her.."

I took a moment of silence before, in a low voice, saying "A gentleman at least.."

We went back to eating and before we knew it, we were up and ready, exchanging numbers with one another. "Hey, you got time?" He asked me. "Would love to show you one of the levels. Maybe our level 8? It's where we host the parties"

I smiled "Yeah I got a few hours. Lead the way!"

We headed up on the elevator, not looking at each other but rather forward. "Hey can you.." Yoongi began. "Uhm...all that stuff I told you..that was pretty inappropriate-"

"Oh no no it was me, I made you go in detail-"

"Yeah I just..he's my boss and sometimes I forget that cause like we're friends outside-"

"Seriously Yoongi, it's alright I totally get it, I'm like that with Irene." We gently smiled at one another, realizing we were similar to a degree. We both know them as friends but also as bosses. We are professional....but we also can't help but try and be friendly.

The doors opened up and we were met with another man. With a slight grin on his face, his piercings glistening in the light, he spoke "Ahhh, Yoongi! Got a new girlfriend I see!"
