2 Weeks Later

It's been 2 weeks since we hung out. I get that he's busy, but he can't be that busy right?

Am I being clingy? We're just friends, why do I care so much? He probably is that busy. I'm being bothersome.

That's what I think to myself as I walk to my boss's office. I knock on the door 3 times as always. Except this time instead of hearing him say 'come in', the door opens.

I see a figure in front of me and take in a few details. Firstly he's tall. Secondly he's buff. And thirdly he's standing right next to Gojo, who is sitting on the brown leather couch.

Only my boss's big clients sit on that couch, so I guess my hunch about Gojo being an important investor was right.

The tall, buff man steps aside, making way for me to pass through. I give a polite smile and nod my head as I walk through the door. I hear him close the door behind me as I give a quick bow to Gojo avoiding any eye contact. I won't be able to walk away if I look into those dazzling blue eyes. I keep my head down as I walk to my boss's desk, setting down his coffee and a few documents.

Why is Gojo here? Who's the other man? He's probably just here for an investment. No need to read into it, I should just get out of here since it seems like they were discussing something important.

We still haven't established a relationship in the workplace. So for now I guess I'm just an average worker while he's a big investor. It is probably best if I get out of here without bringing too much attention to myself.

"A few of these need your approval and signature, the rest are just reports." I say quietly. He nods his head as I bow one last time and head quickly to the door. The tall buff man opens the door once again and I smile once again, wanting to get out of that room.

As I exit the room and hear the door shut once again I start to walk away. Only to turn around a few seconds later.

I mean it should be alright if I return, I forgot to remind my boss about that one change he needs to send verbal confirmation for.

I can just turn around and remind him now, I think as I slowly get closer to the door.

Only to turn around once again. I don't want to bother them. Let me just remind him later, but it's important right? They shouldn't mind. I stand there, still, for a moment.

I proceed to walk away as my nerves get the best of me. I glance at the clock on a nearby wall, ticking away. I need a drink.

It's daytime so I obviously don't go for a drink, i decided to just get a coffee from the break room. I take a sip as I glance down, out the window, at the small bit of traffic for this time of day. It's always at least a little bit of traffic around this area, no matter what time it may be.

I notice a few people stopping at this one tiny building. A café. I squint at a banner hung up, 'Grand Opening'. The banner painted in bright red and blue lettering.

It doesn't seem too crowded, in fact it seems like the perfect place to go on break. Most people just go to the bakery this building owns but it gets busy in there.

As I taste the coffee I realize how bland it tastes and decide to go visit that café later on. Probably not today, I already finished my break. I don't have enough time later either. I'll go some other time I decide to myself.

I walk out the break room after finishing the rest of the bland coffee. Walking to my boss's office once again so I can actually remind him to send the verbal confirmation this time.

Im about to knock before I realize that Gojo may still be in there. Do I...look okay? I mean I need to look presentable in front of an investor.

I just drank coffee with a little bit of bread, what if my teeth are stained?

Feeling doubtful I take out my compact mirror just to check and see if everything's fine. I notice the smallest flaw and I close my compact mirror.

I start walking away, heading for the bathroom to get a clearer view. I hear the door open behind me and I stop in my tracks without thinking.

"Hey Y/N. What you doing?" I hear him say.

I turn around to realize Gojo was in fact still in there, I give a small smile as I attempt to gather myself. "Hey. Nothing, just looking at the clock behind me." I point to the wall behind me to prove my statement, "Yep. Just checking the time before I head into my boss's office. I have to remind him of something since he keeps forgetting." I give an awkward laugh as I start to walk to my boss's office. I feel my cheeks flush at my awkward laugh. Why am I like this?

"Oh, hey. Before you go, I wanted to say sorry for not reaching out after our last hangout. I've been a little busy but we should hang out again another time! I really enjoyed our last one!" He gives another one of those sincere smiles.

I return a smile to him, "Sure. Just reach out whenever, I just don't want to bother you. Since I know you're probably busier than me."

He gives a thumbs up and then shakes his head. "You're never bothering me." I feel my smile get bigger with those simple words.
