His Assistant [ Ft. LEVI♡ ]

08♡

Levi stood there, still and observant, not noticing the malicious smile that crept onto his well-chiseled face on seeing y/n exiting the restaurant wearing a troubled look. To be honest, he has been standing there looking like a creep, ever since she stepped her foot in there. Although Kaden had known y/n for ages, the fact that he is unaware of her hatred for roses, increased Levi's sense of superiority over him, more.

In these two years, whenever Levi would recieve even a single rose, he would make sure to dispose of it before she can even catch a glimpse of it. However, it's a pity that she has never realised how sincere his feelings were, as he never forgets to wear the facade of a tyrant in front of her. Talk about being sweet.

After a few moments of y/n's leave, Kaden also decides to head back to his home. Now that both of them had left, thinking it was useless to stand there anymore, Levi turns his heel to return to the Ackerman's mansion.

Time skip~

Another day; another beginning; but as usual, the same set of alarms can be seen screaming into y/n's ear. The curtains in her room are slapping her face to get her butt out of the bed, but instead of doing that very exact thing, she pulls the quilt more over her head and squeezes the pillow tighter, bringing it to her chest.

Annoyingly enough, her phone also chose to join the chorus of her alarms and began ringing in harmony. Hearing her phone buzzing so early in the morning, she picks up the call in confusion.

Bringing it near her ear, she lets out a yawn and asks, "Hello? Who is this?"

"Get ready instantly and meet me in my office. I will tell you then who this is." A monotonous reply comes from the other side, lighting the bulb of her brain making her jump out of the bed at once. She winces in pain because of the collision with her nightstand in between the rush.

"I-I-Im so sorry boss! You don't need to worry. I'm reaching in..."
She pauses to look up at the clock hanging on her dull wall before resuming. "Gimme 30 minutes...I'll be there in time."

"20 minutes. You get no more than that. And if you arrive even a second late, be prepared to face the consequences."

"Boss? Boss-"

He had already hung up on her. Regretting her sleeping habits, y/n throws her phone on the sofa and walks into her shower mumbling a shit under her breath.

Walking out of the washroom a few minutes later, she rushes towards her closet to get herself some decent clothes to wear to work. She takes out an ivory white waist length shirt and a pair of pastel blue trousers to match with her tie. To complete her formal-casual blend look, she puts on a solid blue patterned cardigan and ties her hair in a high ponytail before running downwards to wear her shoes. Unable to find a suitable pair of footwear due to the scarce time available, she picks up her black boots and hurriedly gets out of her apartment.

Luckily, she managed to catch the bus to her workplace. However that was not enough to calm down her nerves as she knew well that no way in hell she could reach her destination in the allotted time. More or so, she understood Levi was forcing her to play a survival game in the early morning itself but the anxiety of not knowing the aftermath kept on growing.

Until she arrived in the forty eighth storeyed building of the Ackerman Inc., the time limit she was given already slipped out of her hand. And knowing Levi, he never takes back what he said. By now, y/n's brain was completely occupied with the painful assumptions of getting her salary deducted once again, which in fact was never in his plan.

Walking in through the elevator, y/n made sure to greet everyone with her usual smile before heading to his office. Upon standing in front of his office, she knocked on the door once, hoping to get saved by luck or any other means.
